And yes, according to master.cf I have: # ========================================================================== # service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args # (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (50) # ========================================================================== smtp inet n - - - 1 postscreen But what exactly is happening here? Of course the limit's 1 and one process is always running. What would cause this, especially in the middle of the night? mail_version = 2.7-20090807
