Socket API Throttling

Socket API registry values specify throttling thresholds based on free disk space and memory usage on the host machine. If free disk space falls below the minimum level, or if memory usage rises above the maximum level, this triggers a change in how the Socket API processes messages or files.

For messages captured by an Milter MTA agent, the Socket API applies ‘wait throttling’; for messages captured by the NBA, the Socket API applies ‘fail throttling’. See below for details.
