I think you misunderstand the purpose of LOOPBACK_RESERVED_CONNECTIONS. All it does is reserve a certain number of slaves for SMTP connections from 127.0.0.0/8. > And we are > planning on using 2 of 10 slaves as reserved. Is this reasonable? It depends completely on your mail volume. 2 of 10 seems excessive; 1 of 10 is probably more reasonable. > We are > mostly worried about spam storms. What happens when the reserved slaves are > busy and mail starts piling up to use them? You get tempfails.
