dkim-milter excessive memory usage

Is it normal for dkim-milter to use 2GB of memory on a 6GB RAM VPS? It's causing issues with ensuring enough memory is available for http and php sessions / processes.

Was there any ideas on this? We see ours hitting 4GB during load and that seems high.

Dkim-milter was replaced with OpenDKIM before several years and i dont know how did you end using it. With such old software no wonder you have some problems. You should replace dkim-milter with OpenDKIM and if your OS doesnt support OpenDKIM that means you should change that too.
