Hello boliver,

blc> It looks to me like one of my mail servers is getting bombarded
blc> with incoming connections. It is causing MailScanner and db-mail
blc> and postfix to fail due to the overwhelming connections coming.

I'd start by increasing the connection limit to something like 200 to
300. And, depending upon what is being sent, I'd also put a temporary
IPTABLES block on the source subnet, until it is straightened out.
