 * After installing the SMTP plugin for two sites, I noticed my server’s ram usage
   was slowly increasing, (Roughly about 1MB an hour) but never decreasing. At one
   point it got to over 600MB so I reset the server and the same issue came up after
   about two days.
 * I traced the memory increase back to the Apache process that runs WordPress. 
   After disabling the SMTP plugin, the ram usage started dropping back down to 
   normal.

 * That’s very weird because it’s a lightweight plugin and PHP scripts usually time
   out after a while. Could you share the apache log files via contact form? That
   way I will be able to investigate it.

 * I checked my Apache error and access logs, but there’s nothing there during the
   time period I had the plugin runnng.
