Thank you for your swift answer.
Unfortunately setting default_process_limit to 0
results in load going to infinity, and everything breaking.
Also the grey listing that we are using is not the
one that came with postfix, but the one at greylist.org.
Postgrey seems also to have a process limit, although it may be the
process limit of the machine. I am out of my league here.
In the master.cf, set the process limit column to zero(0). Not the
default_process_limit within the main.cf. Here's what I put in for a
custom policy that runs on our server:
master.cf:
==========================================================================
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100)
#
==========================================================================
YnPolicy unix - n n - 0 spawn
user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/etc/postfix/YnPolicy
