That will reduce the peak load that Postfix can present to the operating system and (virtual) hardware. > Any other limits that might be useful? > > Like "smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 2" ? That won't reduce the peak load that Postfix can present to the operating system and (virtual) hardware. As for system configuration, you need to configure for peaks instead of averages. By reducing Postfix process limits you reduce the peak load that Postfix can present to the operating system and (virtual) hardware. You may have to do similar configuration with other services.
