[courier-users] lingering courieresmtpd

Since the new variant of sobor is spreading, I'm getting lots of mails for
non-existant users.

That's not a big problem, but currently a lot of courieresmtpds keep
lingering around and I'm not sure what they're doing, but they since all my
mail comes from a single virus-scanning mailserver, maxperip is reached
quickly.

Does anyone know in what direction I should look?

This is what ps looks like:
