    Got hit with a zillion incoming connections today,

    Running FC3.  Is there an upper limit to smtpd
for postgrey's sake?  CAn postgrey be changed?

    Thanks in advance.  Homer


From HISTORY:

20070430

        Robustness: recommend a "0" process limit for policy servers
        to avoid "connection refused" problems when the smtpd process
        limit exceeds the default process limit.  File:
        proto/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html.
