I will play with ulimit (was 1024 :( ) first and wait until bots will
wake up again :)
May be it's possible to increase the limits by policyd instead of shell?..

Artem,
Please downgrade to v1.80 and check/test if this still occurs.
Nigel, can you dig into this further?

Sounds like recompiling with a larger number of file descriptors and
then running with a bigger limit/ulimit might do the trick. In any case,
the number of concurrent policyd file handles shouldn't be less
than the number of postfix instances on any given machine.

As I said, I don't have any bottlenecks with system resources.

I have two MXes with 4 cores of Xeon 5130 (2.0
I'll try to change ulimit and possible MAXFD.
But it's still bad that policyd needs to be restarted after it reaches
limit.

Do you only have 1 machine as your MX?
I have two MXes each running its own policyd.
Do you run Policyd on
the same server as your MySQL database?
Mysqld located on first MX.
How many concurrent smtpd processes do you have on your MX?
Up to 1.5k per MX in peak during bot attacks.

Connections per minute do not mean much. Concurrent connections
is what matters. It should log when its limit has been reached.

So, in the case of 5k connections per minute, the server is probably
saturated... does policyd log that it's reached its limit?
If more connections are needed, one would of course have to
increase the file descriptor limit and recompile policyd according to
MAXFDS in policyd.h.

Correct. Depending on your OS, ulimit -n will show the limit and
starting Policyd up in DEBUG=3 mode will show if its managed to
override that
Where is the maximum number of concurrent policyd processes defined?
Is it defined/restricted by the limit of file descriptors?
