I have postfix limited to 4 child processes. smtp-amavis unix - - y - 4 smtp I have amavis limited to 4 child processes. $max_servers = 4; # number of pre-forked children (default 2) How can I confiirm clamd and amavis are using the same user account? In reality it seems amavis is being hung up not postfix so if I setup something that can telnet to 127.0.01:10024 and if it fails then send an email to admin@somedomain.com right?
