Your mental model of this is flawed. Postfix runs hundreds of cleanup
servers, hundreds of smtpd servers, further-more, if tables are not
carefully defined to have identical values for connection-related
parameters, multiple connections may be made from the same process.
Listen carefully when Wietse and I recommend "proxymap".
Step 1: migrate to "proxy:ldap:" tables
Step 2: debug any problems that remain after Step 1.
In the end, the problem had zero to do with LDAP, startTLS, or whether or
not proxymap was used. The end problem was the default per-user process
limit on OSX, which defaults to 266. Since our postfix config has a
default max process of 100 each for smtp, etc, we easily surpassed that
default limit on OSX. After fixing that, there were no issues, with or
without proxymap, with or without startTLS for the connection to LDAP.
Which is more to my expectations, given how robust and performant OpenLDAP
is.
