We are using mhonarc 2.1.0, IRIX 5.3 and perl 5.003. When the mailbox-files

Is this a bug?
No, its a feature designed to test how robust your system is :-)
Is there any option we can set to make mhonarc less memory?
-savemem
Unsure on how effective it is, but it tells MHonArc to not
store converted message data into memory. The option causes a
slow down, but should save process space. Note, information to
create indexes and navigational links are still kept in memory.
A thing to note is that Perl has its own overhead. I would
bet the split in readmail.pl is not efficient when it comes to
memory.
Hi! :)
Thanks for your answer!
Mhonarc still use far too much memory on the big (~ 11Mb) mailboxes. I had
an idea: What if we didnt convertet attachments for the big mailboxes, just
made them disapear into /dev/null? :) Maybe that would make mhonarc use
less memory. I have looked for a -nomime option, but havnt found a way to
tell mhonarc not to process attachments.
