    I'll try some config tweaking here... I guess it'll take some
    experimenting and time to find the best combination.

    In general the problem starts when postfix flushes the queue, and then
    it's kind of a snowball effect because cyrus can't recover.

    I've lowered my lmtpd process limit and also the concurrency limit in
    postfix. Let's see how this goes...

    Thanks for all the help
