Well, that was perhaps two years ago, so I don't remember what limit did I
hit, but I do remember postfix complaining about 30 minutes of something
being sxceeded without response from the filter, and doing something about
it, which I don't remember now what it was exactly. Perhaps bounce to the
postmaster, or tell the postmaster, or something - what I remember is my
nerves straining! O:-)

No, it wasn't that recent.

No need, I solved it throtlling the queue to one mail at a time, fed to
amavis. And I only use it for emergencies nowdays.
But nice to have this list handy, I'll keep it. :-)
