Please send me more details of "paniced and threw me out". Try running
Exim with debugging set and in address testing more, e.g.
exim -d9 -bt fred@???
to get more information as to what it is doing. The *@ feature is new in
1.90, so may have problems.

Since it spawns a new process for each incoming message, the limit is
really on your hardware and operating system. However, you can set a
limit on Exim's daemon via smtp_accept_max.
