Hi Sam, so what should I do now ? As I can remember, I decreased that value to 20 or 10. A long time ago I had 40 and during this time I had no problems with crashing.
So what is to do, or better what is your suggestion. Should I try now to trace the comm.flow or is that enough, what Jason Benguerel wrote that you will take care of that problem if you have to less processes and that then it could be possible for spammers to crash the MTA? Many Thanks again for your help.
