Hmm, ok, thanks for that, gives me more to ponder on. I think where SA is
concerned I've currently got it working with the default number of child
processes, same goes for ClamAV.

Be careful how you interpret these figures - Linux will use any spare
RAM as file cache, so the amount of "free" memory is misleading. If
apps need more RAM then the file caches are given up.
I'm running Exim 4.52 with SA 3.1 and Clamav 0.87 on a machine with
only 256MB RAM quite happily, albeit with some careful limitations on
the number of SA child processes.
Cheers,
John
