Yes, that may be reasonable. At sufficiently low volumes there is never a proxymap already running and each mail transaction spawns a new smtpd/cleanup/proxymap/... 1000s should suffice, you can set it for just proxymap in master.cf: proxymap ... proxymap -o max_idle=1000s > If so, how many seconds would you recommend for this MX given the low > volume? If setting either of these to more than 6m, should I also > increase ipc_timeout to be greater than 3600s? Don't mess with ipc_timeout. -- Viktor.
