If I put 100 for maxproc under smtp, this will control the MAX connections
to the smtp port at any given time right?

# ==========================================================================
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100)
# ==========================================================================
26 inet n - n - - smtpd
smtp inet n - n - 100 smtpd

What happens when the 101st connection is attempted, does it get server
busy, and then retry?

How can I tell what the peak amount of connections are over the course of a
day?

Does this 100 consider BOTH incoming smtp as well as outgoing smtp?

Another question which is somewhat related is lets say you have an outgoing
mailserver, and a client sends out 500 messages, does postfix try to deliver
them all at the same time?

Would setting this limit control that as well?

Thanks,

Joey
