Its probably SpamAssassin, which is run against every incoming message. This causes it to have lots of copies in memory at once and to run/quit very often. I don't think that updating Perl will help (I don't see why a user-space process would interfere with kernel resource management.) and I has updated SpamAssassin several times since the problem began. It was a good thought though. I wondered the same thing myself when this whole mess started. Jaime
