Just lately, one of my courier servers has been getting into a bit of a pickle. In particular, we're getting hammered by so many incoming spam connections that we hit the (as configured) 40 process limit on SMTP. Unfortunately, some of these processes seem to hang open, and I'm not really sure why. This is on FC3 and Courier 0.50.0 (authlib 0.57).

This is a comparatively old version of Courier with known bugs, which can result in the behavior you're seeing.

Upgrade to the current version.

Any suggestions or pointers are appreciated. I am considering moving to the latest courier release on this system as well, just in case it might be related to any fixes made subsequent.

Correct. This will likely fix this issue. Especially since you won't need to do much more than build the new courier-authlib rpms, install them, build the new courier rpms, and install them.
