I tested something different. When I send about 400 Mails to local
recipients there is no problem. When I send about 100 Mails to the
webmasters of 100 local Domains, we get the problem.
My virtual_alias handler uses virtual-domains files for every virtual
domain. Maybe exim opens all the 100 files while processing the mail?
Greeting,
Sascha
P.S.: I've sent my configuration-files to your "phl0" Address. Maybe you
can take a look at 'em.
