Thanks! That was what I was looking for I think. I think that I need to limit the remote delivery however no? Because spamc is called by qmail-scanner for deliveries to 192.168.1.2, which is another machine then the box where this qmail and SA are running. I now limited the max number of incoming connections (8) (a command line parameter of tcpserver) as well as the maximum number of remote deliveries (5) and -why not- the local deliveries (5). Those where respectively 20, 20 and 10. -- Carlo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
