And yes, according to master.cf I have:

# ==========================================================================
# service type  private unpriv  chroot  wakeup  maxproc command + args
#               (yes)   (yes)   (yes)   (never) (50)
# ==========================================================================

smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       1       postscreen

But what exactly is happening here? Of course the limit's 1 and one
process is always running. What would cause this, especially in the
middle of the night?
