Sorry. You are right. I did not understand it that way.

700MB only for mailman3

I had a short chat with him yesterday. He didn't answer the comment
of  Mark Sapiro because of lack of time at the moment. But in short:
There is not such a thing like 'idle memory'. It is RSS, not virtual
memory. And mailman3 releases the memory not before exiting.

Myself i was not able to run exim4-light +mailman3 +web-gui packages on
a VM below ~1.8GB RAM.

My production mailserver exim4-heavy +mailman2 +mailman-web-gui
+dovecot +spamassassin +clamav is running on 3GB RAM, where most of the
memory is used by clamav+sa. Only ~50MB by mailman2.
