Re: termination after rcpt flood

2008-03-15 by netbrain2003

I have no special limits adjusted and I can not imagine the daemon
itself is running out of resources. Anyway that are the system
defaults, I don't know the software needs, perhaps you see a bottleneck:

$: ulimit -a                                                         
                                           
-t: cpu time (seconds)         unlimited
-f: file size (blocks)         unlimited
-d: data seg size (kbytes)     unlimited
-s: stack size (kbytes)        8192
-c: core file size (blocks)    0
-m: resident set size (kbytes) unlimited
-u: processes                  8063
-n: file descriptors           1024
-l: locked-in-memory size (kb) 32
-v: address space (kb)         unlimited
-x: file locks                 unlimited
-i: pending signals            8063
-q: bytes in POSIX msg queues  819200
-e: max nice                   0
-r: max rt priority            0
