Hello All,
Our latest mailing is causing this error in our apache logs:

Our php.ini started out with the standard 128M of memory, I then increased to 196M, then again to 256M and each time the memory was exhausted.

Upon searching through the forums, I saw a couple of other hits, but no real answer --
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,22211.msg93360.html#msg93360
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,22359.msg93714.html

I did confirm that PHP was getting all 256M of memory through - phpinfo();

We are using:
CiviCRM version:4.0.8
CMS version:Drupal 7.10
MySQL version:5.1.46
PHP version:5.3.3

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the idea, as I was indeed using the wget version.
However, that leads to a different issue -- due mostly to my lack of understanding or inability to read/comprehend...
But, trying to get cli cron job to work I get this email response --

PHP Warning:  session_start(): open(/var/lib/php5/sess_g25if60dm7ml296tq7hn9rlg18cavbhe, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /srv/www/htdocs/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cli.php on line 86

I have tried every username combination that I can think of and none of them make the script happy...

Is the "USER=" the webuser that runs apache/drupal/civicrm?
Is there supposed to be a space between the "-s" "-u" and "-p" .. like "-u myusername -p mypasswd -s default" or no space like "-umyusername -pmypasswd -sdefault"? 
And is that username the drupal/civi user that has rights?

Between reading the book link and the cli.php code I wasn't able to determine the right method... as neither seemed to work.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Patrick
