Uh oh, lot's of mails to respond to. I'll start with this one and get to the other ones somewhat later:

By design, Postfix MUST be able to run in a fixed resource budget.
Your on-demand concurrency spikes break this principle and will
result in unexpected resource exhaustion.

I'd second Wietse on this one.

If you throw in more resources for everyone, the bad guys are gonna claim it sooner or later. You have to make sure you give it only to the good guys, which is the same as giving less to the bad guys in the first place. No need to throw in yet more additional resources on demand.

And that's also why it is important to classify ahead of time, as once you give something away, it's hard to take it back.
