Sam -- I've been seeing similar problems in the past few weeks on our servers.
Would it be possible to have a config option for max idletime of an smtp connection? I.e., if no data comes in or goes out for a period of, say, 120 seconds, drop the connection and have the submit process exit? (Equivalent to Apache's "Timeout" setting.) I understand that there's no graceful way to tell the sender that the connection is being quit, but at this point, it's a denial-of-service problem. (And I keep increasing the MAXDAEMONS setting, but it hasn't helped. 200 to 300 to 400, the connections just keep stacking up.) -Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
