daemon_timeout:
"How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a request before it is terminated"

What is "a request"? Is that the amount of time a client is connected? Is that the amount of time between command request? Other? Does "a request" cover multiple client connections?


    smtpd_hard_error_limit:
"The maximal number of errors a remote SMTP client is allowed to make without delivering mail."

Is RCPT user unknown count as an error towards this limit? And "without delivering mail" means the counter is reset on a successful delivery so this is not a total hard limit for the entire length of the client connection?


    smtpd_junk_command_limit:
"The number of junk commands that a remote SMTP client can send before the Postfix SMTP server starts to increment the error counter with each junk command."

Making sure i understand correctly, using this means junk commands count as errors towards the hard error limit after giving the first x number of freebies? If hard error limit is 3 and junk limit is 3 then after 6 junk commands postfix would end the connection?
