Policyd is used to protect some isps with > 750 000 mailboxes
which of course is a *lot* of work that Policyd has to do. So
yea, it was increased for performance reasons. 1024 should be
able to *easily* cater for small -> medium setups. Once your
system starts processing 10 000 concurrent connections to your
MX then you need to start raising limits.
