I have a question about debugging a memory error on FreeBSD.
When a user sends an e-mail with an attachment above about 500kB to

MemoryError : out of memory

Try running limits as the mailman user, not root. All the mailman
programs run as your mailman user.
Ok, but mailman is a nologin user. Should I change this temporarily
to check?
# su mailman
This account is currently not available.
I'm not sure about the syntax but limits -U mailman doesn't seem to
make
the user mailman, but just use the class default.
# limits -U mailman
Resource limits for class default:
cputime infinity secs
filesize infinity kB
datasize infinity kB
stacksize infinity kB
coredumpsize infinity kB
memoryuse infinity kB
memorylocked infinity kB
maxprocesses infinity
openfiles infinity
sbsize infinity bytes
vmemoryuse infinity kB
Yes, change it so that you can su to mailman and then run limits
again. You need to see what happens in the context of user mailman
since that is what all the mailman programs will get.
