As Viktor noted, each smtpd(8) process makes its own connection to
a policy service. Then, an smtpd(8) process will reuse its own
policy service connection, not a connection that belongs to a
different smtpd(8) process.
Also, an smtpd(8) process will not immediately close the policy
service connection. This is to avoid the overhead of creating
processes and making connections for each SMTP client request.
What you call zombies could be just Postfix daemons waiting for
more work.
What evidence do you have that you have zombie processes, and not
simply processes that are idle waiting for work?
