[otrs] OTRS/Postmaster.pl memory usage

[Richard Hinkamp - BeSite]

Hi,

On my server perl scripts are limited to use 80Mb memory max. When I use 
PostMaster.pl to add an e-mail with a 4.2Mb attachment (size of plaintxt 
e-mail is 6.6mb) to the system, it crashes with a "Out of memory" message.

Is PostMaster.pl really using that much memory? Is there a way to check 
how much it's using? I'm no perl expert, so I have no idea. Can I use a 
tool like valgrind on perl scripts? Is there a way to optimize memory 
usage? I need to be able to accept messages with 5-10 Mb of attachments 
and it's possible for me to change the memory limit unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

Richard
