[ILUG] sa-learn runs out of memory

[ILUG] sa-learn runs out of memory

Hi all,

I have an account called "spammy" which gets only spam, as you can imagine.

Now I have not used it in a while as I like to let it build up and good list
prior to running sa-learn --spam on it.

It currently has :
Held 16241 messages in /var/spool/mail/spammy

And as a result, sa-learn grinds the machine to a halt. I tried dropping to
single user mode and it still ran OOM

The box has 1.5GB RAM, plus 512MB swap. Swap is pretty much never used, but
after running sa-learn on it, it used every drop available. I had to reboot to
prevent the box from panicing.

Any suggestions? I would rather not loose 16K spam ;-0

Regards
Conor.
