    My server has been experiencing a noncritical issue with concurrency
    limits on a few remote hosts:

    warning: Connection concurrency limit exceeded: 11 from
    mx.example.com[192.168.1.2] for service smtp

    After reading this guide:

      http://www.postfix.org/TUNING_README.html#rope

    I've decided to lower this parameter from the default of 20:

      default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10

    Related parameters inherit the change from the default settings:

    lmtp_destination_concurrency_limit = $default_destination_concurrency_limit

    relay_destination_concurrency_limit = $default_destination_concurrency_limit

    smtp_destination_concurrency_limit = $default_destination_concurrency_limit

    virtual_destination_concurrency_limit =
    $default_destination_concurrency_limit

    As I said, the issue is not critical, because messages were queued and
    delivered within an acceptable period of time. I'm trying to reduce the
    delivery delay and be kinder to destination servers during our mass
    mailings. Is this the recommended approach for dealing with this issue?
    I'm hoping that by halving the destination concurrency limit, I'm not
    also doubling the time it will take to process a mailing (only about six
    destination hosts are affected, and most of these are within our own
    organization, but not under my control).
