Hello,

I have configured OpenSMTPD on OpenBSD 5.9 with the filter-spamassassin as a 
relay for a few of my webapp servers and have the problem when a webapp 
suddently sends over 30 mails at the same time. Basically the problem is that 
as I have configured spamd with 30 as max-children, as soon as I receive 30 
mails at the same time OpenSMTPD stops answering because all spamd childs are 
in busy state. This means that as long as all spamd child are in busy state I 
can not receive any more mails during that time.

So in theory I would just raise the max-children setting of spamassassin but 
then it just postpones the problem really... so is there maybe another way to 
deal better with that issue?

Regards
ML
