I really monitor SMTP through the port. the monitoring of spawned
application is just for capacity planning. If this application is
starting to run more than xxx spawned processes, I will have to up the
current limit, but I do not want to do it until necessary (spam and dos
prevention).

As well, yearly graphs show the increase of use of the service and allow
me to plan my upgrade.
