   while doing a stresstest on our mailserver we had a big problem after
   the first 100mails (sent in 2 seconds) due to the fact that one of two
   running lmtpd-processes consumed 1GB of memory, which was to much
   for our system and resulted in neverending swapping until I killed all
   related mail-processes.

   I couldnt reproduce the problem and on further tests there was no
   similar problem. (oh yes, we had other problems - I'm not happy with
   our emailserver - it cannot deal with more than 3mails per second in
   average for one hour or so. While this is not a realistic number and
   we dont have a problem with our 100 mails per hour I expected it to
   handle a bigger load.)

   Nevertheless I'm worried if this happens again - even on less load.


   lmtpd is invoked via cyrus-master-process when deliver is called from
   our procmailscript.

   thnx,
   peter
