Since upgrading to 3.02 from 2.63 and tweaking some rules, I've had problems with smtp connections skyrocketing at times. I have raised the limit (qmail-smtpd with tcpserver) to 400 connections so there would always be an smtp connection available for legitimate relaying, but it occasionally hits that, even though I've since implemented a patch to tcpserver to limit external connections to 2 per IP at a time.
When it does hit this limit, a bunch of spam gets through with no markup in the headers at all. I assume spamd simply gets overloaded (I have it set to 15 children max to try to accomodate this huge load) and some spam "spills out" unscanned. If somebody has a pointer on how to best accomodate this, I'd appreciate it. James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
