Thanks Grayhat,
I disabled testmode on all HELO checks as recommended and also added the 
same blacklisted addresses list from the SMTP server.

I reduced the limit to default and i can see some "connection limiting" in 
the logs so i increased the number to 80. i'll keep monitoring specialy in 
peak times.
Do you mean the SMTP idle time ? I think 25 seconds should be enough instead 
of the default 180 seconds . Will there be any issues of rejecting good 
connections if i reduce it to 25 sec only ?
