That's what I understood by pre-queue. vocabulary from the days before milter support in postfix... > and gazillion amavisd processes. > Probably something like that is the case here.. or huge or slow SA rules. > > Using amavisd-milter is much better option, you can control concurrent > process amount and socket queue. how? if you configure postfix to accept 100 simultaneous connections, then you should be prepared to filter 100 simultaneous messages (I am talking pre-queue here). but even assuming a single message. if the time it takes to scan is long, the client may disconnect. I don't know if caching would help here (so that next time, the message is filtered quickly).
