Sorry. You are right. I did not understand it that way. > How much RAM, according to your friend, does mailman3 use on his system? 700MB only for mailman3 See the Post of him (mailman-users list, Thursday, 13 September 2018 2:05 p.m.) https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-us...@mailman3.org/thr ead/5LZNBMEMYPZHW5XE7KMPUOAAECK3KP6D/ I had a short chat with him yesterday. He didn't answer the comment of Mark Sapiro because of lack of time at the moment. But in short: There is not such a thing like 'idle memory'. It is RSS, not virtual memory. And mailman3 releases the memory not before exiting. Myself i was not able to run exim4-light +mailman3 +web-gui packages on a VM below ~1.8GB RAM. My production mailserver exim4-heavy +mailman2 +mailman-web-gui +dovecot +spamassassin +clamav is running on 3GB RAM, where most of the memory is used by clamav+sa. Only ~50MB by mailman2. Markus
