... ... Nice explanation :-) One of the things I miss in documentations is an explanation of how things work, not the usual extensive options explanations, like in http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html. So reading your explanation is a welcome change.
A mailinglist server is a special case. If a mailing list has a lot of subscribers, then a few incoming mails are sufficient to generate many thousands of outgoing emails.
So Postfix will per default use a max of 100 smtp processes. 5 emails are submitted to the mailing list manager, 10000 emails are generated, and Postfix is using all 100 smtp processes to send mails out. If you are using amavisd-new to first filter the mail, that mail might have to wait for a smtp process to be free to be delivered to amavisd-new.
Amavis can use "lmtp" instead. But I'm too sleepy to know if it is postfix to amavis or viceversa O:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
