Hi, okay that makes sense.
I guess my next question is what is going on when we get a bulk mail campaign
or spam attack and I see the /var/spool/postfix/incoming
Directory only allow 20,000 files in there ?
Thanks.

The Postfix mail queue is not an IN-MEMORY queue. That would limit
the amount of email that Postfix can handle, and it would violate
the requirement that mail is not lost after a system crash.
