For All : I have been talking about smtp client threads of postfix... but imagine now (for understanding better...) amavis for example... you launch two amavis processes as you specified in amavisd.conf. So if you set the proccess_limit for amavis to 2 in master.cf you shouldn't never have a transport timeout or any kind of error for waiting messages in active queue till amavis has a free proccess for accepting the message? the only thing could happen is that the active queue reaches the limit of messages in this queue and later are deferred instead of going to active from incoming? Thanks a lot to all :)
