You forgot about the part where things start to hang and your system tasks start to count in numbers.. and for me, at about 350+ tasks, performance degrades VERY badly, resulting in "user unknown" errors when users try to log in via pop3, or when connecting smtp servers try to deliver a message.
In a nutshell, Bayes getting corrupt = many many phone calls "Wtf?!?" to me :( At any normal given point in time, my server should run at 140~ tasks at one time, so 300+ is bad. :) That's when I started upping my max children to hopefully scan more emails at a time, but that actually worked against me, causing Bayes to get corrupt much faster and thus clog things up much faster.

The message is accepted ok (received in recipient's inbox), but the SMTP session terminates abnormally so the sending server resends the message, resulting in duplicates. That's pretty much all I've determined at this point.
