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.)
