[vPostMaster] warning: /usr/lib/vpostmaster/postfix/vpm-pfpolicy: process id 5453: command time limit exceeded

[Scott Kleihege]

vpm-pfpolicy doesn't do much outside of interacting with the postgresql
database, so I'd expect there's some kind of issue with postgresql or it's
running out of database connections.

Perhaps setting the vpm-pfpolicy to 100 connections was too high.

How about 50 connections in /etc/postfix/master.cf

   vpm-pfpolicy  unix  -       n       n       -      50       spawn

or increasing the postgresql max_connections setting in the postgresql.conf
(under /var/lib/pgsql/data/, location varies depending on the postgresql
version)?
