it eats up my 768 MByte of memory...

It uses 768MByte of Ram by itself without extra cf files?  I think
there is something very broken on your system.

Well, duh. ;)  Have you seen some of dozens of unnecessarily
repetitive calls to formail, sed, grep, whatever that she runs
from procmail?  Probably a few perls in there, too, but who knows?

If you read the BTS from Debian to spamassassin, you know, there is a
memory issue wit 3.0, it is fixed with the suggestion to decrease the
"--max-children 5" (under 2.63/2.64 I have 15)

Well, I don't read it, because -- as I have stated a couple of times --
I do not use SA.  I have my procmail spamtraps, and they work better
and (far) faster for me than SA.  And with much less load.
Yes, it took some careful thought to set up, and lots of work
and also some maintenance work for quite a while.  I pretty much
leave it alone these days, though.  It's time for a revision, though,
as some of it has long since gotten long-in-tooth.

BASH script which check the "From:" against a list of blacklisted
E-Mails and block per day around 40-200 E-Mails. Most Messsages
from anti-virus-gateways.

I don't use any such thing.  No bash scripts, no blacklists beyone about
two names.  And most all my spam detection concerns only the mail headers!


| FLT_rfc2047    : pass

Kills the qouted-printable in the "Subject:"

| FLT_spam       : pass

BASH-script like the blacklist
Stop around 50-600 per day

Way too processor-intensitve!


| FLT_virus      : pass

Checks for binary attachments
~100 per day

Have Virus Snaggers(tm) for that.  :)

Realy cool. The most spam is filtered by the first IP
and sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. I have around 500-3000 Spams here

Have never had to use a single one.
