Hi,

Thanks for the info.

I am not professional admin, but does postfix require limits?

Postfix doesn't require them for remote exploitation security. The
master.cf and main.cf files, which ship with Postfix, do specify some
limits for performance tuning and to avoid denial of service.

Do many widely used daemons need limits?

Not of the sort qmail apparently demands, no.
