Hi, I wrote a multithreading policy daemon in C to run with Postfix. I made a thread pool of 8 threads, waiting for a connection from Postfix. Everything works nice, however, there are always 7 threads idle, it's always just 1 thread doing some work, even though I have a busy mail server. Connections from Postfix come in 1 per second and I believe this is a bit low. The mother thread receives a connection from Postfix, throws it to one of the 8 threads and starts to listen again, so this may not even take a fraction of a second. But then it simply waits a full second before Postfix connects again with another request.
I have no smtpd_client_... restrictions what so ever and am running multiple smtpd services (the default value). Right now it looks like a waste that I wrote it multithreading, since it's only using one thread at a time. Is this normal behavior, i.e. is Postfix trying to be nice and giving me a slow rate of policy requests or do I need to tell Postfix somewhere that my policy daemon can handle multiple connections? Hopefully somebody can give me a hint....
