Thank you Viktor, I wouldn't agree about the question because I may not know the process as intricately as you do, but I can share symptoms and try to figure out a direction through help. In reading through the docs you sent, I see I can limit the amount of daemon processes we run with: smtp inet n - - - 10 smtpd but I would like to better capture who/what is causing the huge amount of cleanup processes that are running. The above can help me not allow the box to choke and cause people to get timed out. Do I understand what these are meant to do based on the above? I was thinking that maillog itself would allow me to see several connections at one time thereby explaining what I was looking for, but it didn't appear to have the answer. In my debugging attempts I only found many entries like so: May 6 15:10:22 pluto postfix/smtpd[16293]: warning: 186.10.106.169: hostname 186-10-106-169.net.entelpcs.cl verification failed: Name or service not known May 6 15:10:24 pluto postfix/smtpd[15673]: warning: 66.239.205.66: address not listed for hostname mail1.ampco.com May 6 15:10:29 pluto postfix/smtpd[15944]: warning: 186.10.106.169: hostname 186-10-106-169.net.entelpcs.cl verification failed: Name or service not known May 6 15:10:31 pluto postfix/smtpd[15673]: warning: 217.21.15.97: hostname adsl-97-15-21-217.hadara.ps verification failed: Name or service not known May 6 15:10:37 pluto postfix/smtpd[15783]: warning: 186.10.106.169: hostname 186-10-106-169.net.entelpcs.cl verification failed: Name or service not known May 6 15:10:40 pluto postfix/smtpd[15756]: warning: 186.29.99.254: hostname adsl186-2999254.din.etb.net.co verification failed: Name or service not known May 6 15:10:45 pluto postfix/smtpd[16293]: warning: 186.10.106.169: hostname 186-10-106-169.net.entelpcs.cl verification failed: Name or service not known I'm not sure how those would relate to launching hundreds of processes. Any pointing into the right document would be appreciated, or of course any insight as to where you believe it may be coming from would be appreciated.
