Connection limit on the OpenLDAP side. You have up to 150 qmail-lspawns
running all of them opening a session to the OpenLDAP server. Then you
have to take into account the sessions of auth_* and qmail-verify.
In other words your OpenLDAP server needs to handle more than 300
concurrent sessions or some sessions may get dropped because the OpenLDAP
server is overloaded.

I think there is some docu about tuning OpenLDAP on their homepage.
