I installed 7.300GA on two boxes Saturday afternoon, a few hours after first installing 7.202. I made very few changes to the new "default" settings.
Box 1:
HTTP, SMTP and POP proxies are running here. Reject Malware and SPAM at SMTP were both on. All SPAM checks are on, including the new HELO/RDNS test, except Greylisting.
When I looked in on box 1, the swap file was over 30% of 1Gb overnight (about 20 hours). These swap files have never grown like this before. No one was in the office. There were 1280 inbound e-mail attempts and 1250 of those were confirmed? SPAM. So about 30 possible good messages - all very small.
I restarted the SMTP, POP and HTTP proxies, but that didn't clear anything. So I restarted the box and checked again. Swap was back to zero.
Then I changed from SMTP Profile mode to SMTP Simple mode. 5 hours later - early Sunday evening, swap file is again climbing - at 12% of 1Gb - and growing.
Box 2:
HTTP and POP proxies are running. No SMTP proxy running here.
No growth in the swap file at all. Still at zero.
Question:
Is this normal behavior for the new SMTP proxy? It's definitely different than in the 7.2x versions.
It shouldn't eat more memory than the old proxy - is it possible to get a login to that installation

I've upgraded all of our production units (sort of a test before I start upgrading customers), and some beta test units... none of them are exhibiting excessive swap growth... if anything, on most of them, total memory usage is down. How much RAM is in your system? All of these are 1GB or 2GB units, with the exception of one old 220.
