I couldn't find any tarpit* files in /var/qmail/control.
(Nor anywhere on the system if the slocate db is to
be trusted.)

I did go ahead and add the variables below into
tcp.smtp, but the traffic is too low right now
to test (of course.)

I'll keep an eye on it, but right now there's
nothing to report.

Thanks for the tip and I hope that's the answer.
