One things has nothing to do with the other. Here, a lmtpd child is simply exiting because MAXCONNECTS was reached. A new lmtpd child will be spawned immediately. But your script doesn't use lmtp at all as far as I can tell. > > And I have in dbmail.conf: > [LMTP] > PORT = 24 > NCHILDREN = 1 > MINSPARECHILDREN = 1 > MAXSPARECHILDREN = 2 > MAXCHILDREN = 5 That is a *very* narrow pipe for lmtp.
