"out of memory" when receiving larger mails

[nxxs <nx...@gmx.net>]

Hi folks!

I really need help installing SA 3.0.3 to my debian 3.1 vserver with 256MB
RAM and lots of swap space.

I am using SpamAssassing together with Qmail through the ifspamh script. I
added a call to the ifspamh script to my user's .qmail file and it works
quite well.

The only problem is that I cannot receive mails above a certain size
(usually mails with attachments). They simply dont get delivered. 
I can read the following error message in my syslog:

qmail: 1148341842.937112 starting delivery 79: msg 61161737 to local
5-robin@dronezone.de
qmail: 1148341842.937179 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
qmail: 1148341846.521070 delivery 79: deferral:
/usr/bin/ifspamh:_line_75:_out_of_memory/
qmail: 1148341846.521146 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

I have no idea what to do about it. THANKS for any help!!
Cheers,
Robin

But I am using spamc/spamd. I think that the ifspamh-script is a wrapper for
spamc. Inside the ifspamh-script gets spamc called. 
I read already that spamc normally won't scan messages larger 256kb by
default. Thats my problem: It seems that spamc tries to scan the large
messages anyway. The 256kb limit seems not to be active.

Any hints?

Cheers,
Robin

Don't scan large messages (if you were using spamc/spamd it wouldn't 
scan messages larger than 256KB by default for this very reason).
