Re: amavisd crashes

The - means default value which is 100.  The stock master.cf
should have a comment above the table to that effect.

Hi, I'm having a smiler problem as Mark, here is my
master.cf, what 
confuses me is the;

*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

haven't experimentedwith it too much....
