This module leverages BSD::Resource to assure your spamd child processes do not exceed specified CPU or memory limit. If this happens, the child process will die. See the BSD::Resource for more details.

NOTE: Because this plugin uses BSD::Resource, it will not function on Windows.

How many cpu cycles are allowed on this process before it dies.
The maximum number of bytes of memory allowed both for:
  • (virtual) address space bytes
  • resident set size
