Hi,
spamd seems to need ~ 30 MB of ram for EVERY child in the new version...
there must be something wrong

what further informations do you need?

this is mail-filter/spamassassin-3.0.0-r1

This is normal behaviour and actually nothing the Gentoo guys can fix.

You can report this issue upstream via http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org but please check first if there isn't yet a similar bug as this problem is already worked on (where possible).
