You're thinking of the configurable number of slaves in the
multiplexor, I believe. I'm referring to the milter process:

By the way, I've been running this type of set-up for some time, but
always under Tru64Unix (including multi-processor machines) in the past.
I do *not* get multiple milters in that context. This is my first
installation using *Linux* on a multi-processor machine.
