Hi Rodney,
    I may well confuse threads and copies. I dunno. 'ps -efa' shows 5 of
them, and 'top' with M pressed shows 5.
  But just now I ran:
free
pkill -9 spamd
free

which output:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers    cached
Mem:        255984     238332      17652          0       1564     73896
-/+ buffers/cache:     162872      93112
Swap:       524280     193052     331228
             total       used       free     shared    buffers    cached
Mem:        255984     195488      60496          0       1572     73912
-/+ buffers/cache:     120004     135980

Thats a saving of 23Mb real and 52Mb swapped ram. 

I don't normally run a system one - I just tried the 'service spamd on'
blindly because it responds to me changing the options
in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin to request only 2 children.

how do I remove spamassasin from evo.? Just removing all filters didn't
stop them coming back.
