After the SMTP server has "mated" with a new policy daemon process,
the SMTP server keeps the connection open until it terminates.
During this time, the SMTP server will handle one or more SMTP
client requests, such as multiple requests in one SMTP session or
requests from different SMTP client (one SMTP client connects,
disconnects, another SMTP client connects, etc.)
When the SMTP server disconnects from the policy daemon, the
policy daemon must terminate. It is an error to terminate before
the SMTP server disconnects.
In particular, the policy daemon should not terminate after each
request. This would waste a lot of system resources.
If you believe that your SMTP server processes will be running fore
more than 3600s (for example, when receiving large messages over
a dialup connection) then increase the limit.
