Hello

I have been noticing, the following behavior on one of our mail servers
which happens to be running spamdyke. The qmail incomingconcurrency
setting is 500.

When tls-level is set to smtp, the number of timeouts increases and errors
indicating unable to write to ssl/tls stream increases. the errors are I/O
errors mostly Broken pipe, but some are Connection reset by peer.

The effect I witness is increases in the smtp concurrency usage. In
certain busy periods, it goes to the 450+ percent area. The MRTG graph
indicates max/smtp, I didn't write the scan criteria.

Setting the tls-level to none, decreases the concurrency and the errors
diminish as well (less errors makes sense).  Concurrency usage drops to
below the 100 percent mark

I guess I don't understand the methodology of enabling tls under smtp
since I don't have port 995 open to the mailers.

Needless to say, when the server reaches the max incomingconcurrency
setting, users get shut out (temporarily).

Anyone have any ideas?

Best
Greg
