Yikes! That's enormous. It should be 25-30MB at startup - most of that's
shared between children (perl interpreter, shared libraries, etc.) - and
it shouldn't grow too much bigger. I have found some versions of
SpamAssassin to suffer memory leaks, so I now run spamd with
--max-conn-per-child=100 so that each spamd child doesn't grow too big.
