Each Postfix SMTP server process handles one remote SMTP client at a time. The number of processes can be zero up to an including the process limit for that service. With a larger process limit, Postfix can handle more remote SMTP clients concurrently, before it logs that the SMTP service "has reached its process limit". Keep in mind that STRESS_README.html describes a number of conditions that may result in this warning. For example if DNS lookups are too slow then fixing DNS is more effective than configuring a larger process limit. Wietse
