Hello all, Just to say I found how to fix this. I enable the system spamassasin, and change /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin to SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -L -m2 -H" Without the '-L' (local) evolution ignores this instance and starts its own. But with it I can set the number of these memory-expensive processes. Bill On Thu, 2005-01-27 at 16:47 +0000, William John Murray wrote: > > >That is good advice.
