Dear list,

I am trying to find out why my new postfix system is only using 20 of its
30 available amavis processes on a second machine.

This is a new installation, I am switching, on a busy system, from
sendmail/spamd to postfix/amavis/spamassassin. I have set amavis for 30
processes, and I see that the processes are running, but the amavis-nanny
utility only shows 20 running at a time. I had to disable most of the
spamassassin dns lookups today because we were falling behind, trying to
catch up after bayes corruption caused amavis to hang last night.

I have set 30 for maxprocs for the listener. And, I have set 30 for
maxprocs for the filter definition in master.cf- right? Should I be
asking about this on the amavis list instead? Listings of master.cf
and main.cf below.

Many, many thanks in advance for your wonderful advice.

Ann Cantelow
