Re: smsbox sending dlr's....

I dont know how to limit the smsbox processes but i can give another hack
for the problem 

Limit ur maxclients in apache and establish a smsbox-http- queue by setting
the following parameters smsbox group

http-request-retry
http-queue-delay

These parameters resend the request to ur webserver if smsbox fails to
establish a connection 

Hope this helps
