Hi Rianto/Tobias, Thanks a lot for the information.
I changed the smtpd_timeout, smtpd_error_sleep and smtpd_delay_reject on the MX's and within the first 2 hours I can already see a huge drop on the maxprocs used. I am keeping an eye on the servers over the weekend and will know whether this has solved the problem for good during the course of the week when these servers are at their busiest. Again thanks for the info.
