connections hanging around forever

Hi all,

I've been using qpsmtpd for about 6 months now but I've just signed up for 
this list.  I recently upgraded to 0.40 and I'm running on a modified Mandriva 
using qmail and with qpsmtpd running under tcpserver.

I've long had a problem with connections from certain spammers hanging around 
forever.  I wrote a script that I run out of cron that sends a -9 to any 
connection that's been around for over an hour and that's kept me up and 
running, but...

Any idea what's going on here?  It requires a -9 to kill the processes.

Should I not be running under tcpserver?  Also, why does the default run 
script default to -c 10; that seems awfully low to me.

Chris

                 Would you rather proactively pay for
                uptime or reactively pay for downtime?
