I saw in the documentation that the -q flag will allow mimedefang to accept more connections than the number of mimedefang slaves and it will queue connections if the slave limit is exceeded. I wanted to understand the implications and potential downsides of enabling this better..
So if your slave limit is 100 and they are all processing emails, but you need to process 500 emails that moment, does this mean 400 emails will be queued for processing as soon as the slaves start freeing up? Does this open up a potential denial of service attack? or is it relatively light-weight to keep a connection in queue? Any other gotchas we should be aware of that may not be explicitly mentioned in the docs?
