[NMLUG] Spamassassin spamd size

[aaron at boim.com (Aaron NMLUG)]

I'm having trouble with SpamAssassin spamd'd getting HUGE.
It seems like they usually start out around 64MB,
which is bad enough, but frequently 2 or 3 of them
grow to well over 100MB, which starts my machine into swapping.

How/where might I find out about things I might be able to do
to control this.  even 64MB sure seems like a major waste
of resources, no matter how complex a spam filter is.
Perhpas there are some SA configuration options where I might
be able to trade some performance for memory usage?

Does anybody know much about how SA works?  Even with my
2.75MB baysian database...  there's a lot of explaining to
do to figure out how these daemons get to over 100MB.
