Hello mouss,

I read README.postfix and The book of Postfix. The number is a limit on
the number of content filter that runs simultaneously. But I really
don't understand why is set in the configuration of the appliance.

Indeed I don't know why the trendmicro ha set this limit on the content
filter. If I change it from 70 to '-' (ie: disabling the limit), could I
risk that the appliance is too loaded (or go in chrisis or something
else of catastrophic)?

Or should I conclude that the appliance is unable to manage a traffic
such that currently I have?

Thanks,

rocsca
