Hi everyone.

This may need to go to the mailscanner list, decided to start here incase 
anyone knew of anything quick. I built and ran mailscanner and spamassassin 
a while ago before my server bombed, now trying to get mailscanner running 
again to archive mail for my boss. I have sendmail using ssl and auth, and 
spamd through /etc/procmailrc. When i compiled and installed mailscanner, I 
didn't get any errors, but when I try to start it, it brings the machine to 
a crawl in about 2 minutes, maybe less. I get booted out of ssh, and can 
connect again in about an hour after the system auto shuts down some 
services. The system has 512mb ram and 80gb harddrive. Its just my mail 
gateway. It works fine with just spamassassin running.

Do I have to revert to the original sendmail or spamassassin configs before 
I try to start mailscanner? I have my original spamassasin config, but 
didn't save a copy of the original sendmail config. Someone here should have 
it, or I can probably find it somewhere.

Anyone know what I can try to get this working? I know its running out of 
memory when i start mailscanner, but it worked before :(

I'm still on FC3 if that helps. I can post any configs that you may want.

Like I said I had it all working fine a while ago, but the new version of 
mailscanner seems to eat up a lot more memory than the version I had before.
