I have done a new install last night after we had a bad week so far. My
server keeps running out of memory. we are running fedora core 1 sendmail
8.13.0 SA 2.63 and Latest Stable MailScanner
here are the mailscanner processes that are running. For some reason the
fourth line uses 79M of memory.

MailScanner
My conf has only 5 processes per CPU enabled.
Any Ideas? Please this is my mem usage after i restarted the MailScanner
processes.
total used free shared buffers cached

-/+ buffers/cache: 207432 533800
Swap: 1502068 86372 1415696
The free goes down to about 5000 then the server start killing processes.
If more info needed please let me know.
