amavisd crashes

smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       50        smtpd

Last time I had some help with this problem from this forum this is what they made me do;
smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd -o content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
                                                              -o smtpd_client_connection_count_limit=21
As you can see, I dont have any 50/100 in that line, should it be there?
these are my rules, please advise if I anything should be added or modified;


127.0.0.1:10025 inet n  -   n   -   -  smtpd
   -o content_filter=
   -o smtpd_restriction_classes=
   -o smtpd_delay_reject=no

smtp-amavis unix -      -       n       -       6       smtp (Same as my amavis.conf)

Hi Mark,
  Are you doing any kind of mail rejection at the level of SMTP (rbl,etc)? If so, then you first need an adequate number of SMTP listeners(postfix -> master.cf). I use 50 as this is not a resource intensiveactivity:
smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       50        smtpd
Then, you will need to optimise amavis to accept as many simultaneous mailstreams as your resources allow... I use 2, but YMMV.... Spamassassin isfairly resource intensive and the number of amavis processes that youallow is directly related to the number of simultaneous instances ofspamassassin.
This way, if you are rejecting calls at the SMTP level based on unknownupstream user or rbl or some other mechanism, there will be plenty of SMTPlisteners to deal with this, reducing the quantity of mail to be scannedby SpamAssassin. Some people have said that there is little throughputgain from amavis processeses more than two, but I haven't experimentedwith it too much....
This is how I reject blatently bogus mail at the SMTP level:
In postfix -> main.cf:
smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_rbl_client dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net,reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client relays.ordb.org,reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org
smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_unknown_recipient_domain,reject_unverified_recipient
unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550
Also, the line in postfix -> master.cf:
smtp-amavis     unix    -       -       -       -       4      smtp
should match in amavisd.conf:
$max_servers = 4;
If any other admins see an error in my methodology or config, please feelfree to pipe up. I'm always ready to benefit from the experience ofothers.
