I have a tcp table and policy service - when i shut these down, i close each 
open session and unbind the listener port - for some reason postfix does not 
close its client connection to them for about 60sec.

Now, is there a sure way to tell postfix to disconnect from his client session?


Here is a netstat output with at least 1 open client session from postfix for 
my tcptable service (transport map) (10028) and policy service 
(smtpd_recipient_restrictions) (10027)

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10027         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10028         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:54751         127.0.0.1:10028         ESTABLISHED
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:56901         127.0.0.1:10027         TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10028         127.0.0.1:54751         ESTABLISHED

after i shutdown the server and made sure all sessions are closed im still left 
with this

tcp        1      0 127.0.0.1:54751         127.0.0.1:10028         CLOSE_WAIT
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:56901         127.0.0.1:10027         TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10028         127.0.0.1:54751         FIN_WAIT2

This might entirely the problem of my server - however im asking if there is a 
sure way to signal postfix to close its client sessions (i need this if i want 
to restart my service without restarting postfix)
