Hi all,

I've just upgraded from 4.40.11 to 4.43.8 and, with exactly the same 
MailScanner.conf, the new MailScanner processes start and grow in memory 
size, seemingly forever.  Switching back to 4.40.11, the processes stop 
and stabilize at about 57M each (under prstat in Solaris).  The new ones 
go sailing through that and only stop when I kill them, at which point 
the machine is out of memory and swap (each MailScanner being >>500M by 
this stage).

It may be a really dumb thing, but i'd appreciate any suggestions........

Thanks
Ade
