occasionally, i get messages like
1998-11-22 22:11:01 0zhgmV-0007Lh-00 failed to open database lock file
/var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: File table overflow
this is on exim 2.00 on linux. increasing the file limit is an obvious
solution, but i wonder what causes it. are there known conditions where
exim (e.g. by spawning) uses something in the magnitude of hundreds of open
files?
