does not match $max_servers.
You mean I should change the processes number below (2) to match
amavis $max_servers configured value (currently 10)?
This would be one possible way, yes. A good number depends on cpu and
memory usage and availability. SpamAssassin can be greedy, and clamscan
(not clamdscan) as av_scanner will be even worse.
See also README.postfix chapter 5.1.
These are the wrong options for an lmtp service.
Do you suggest to remove them entirely or change their values?
I suggest to use the lmtp_* counterparts.
Beyond that, delays of 120s and 300s look suspiciously man-made. I
don't have a concrete idea, though. This may be a question for
postfix-users (together with related logs from vmail2).
Could a possible cause be that postfix default_process_limit is
currently as low as 10?
I don't know.
Would it possibly help to also increase amavis $max_servers to a
higher value?
For your original problem? I doubt it.
