Hi all.

We mail our customer base every week with up-to-date information about our
service. I've recently moved this to use exim for the delivery. It's
set-up to do one SMTP connection at a time, each with 15 RCPTs maximum.

The list is about 130'000 users long. The problem I have is that every
time it tries to deliver to the list, I get loads of these message:

1998-12-15 13:10:24 0zptJZ-000361-00 == p.t@???
<whatsnew-sub@???> T=virginNetTransport defer (-1):
fork failed for remote delivery to virgin.net: Not enough space

The transport config is:
    virginNetTransport:
            driver = smtp
            max_rcpt = 15
            serialize_hosts = *.virgin.net 



and the router that catches our customers' addresses is:
    virginNet:
            driver = domainlist
            transport = virginNetTransport
            route_list = "virgin.net mta4-gui.server.ntli.net byname"


[ this overrides the usual MX hosts for the domain... this one is
supposedly more efficient at dealing with a lot of incoming mail ].


I assume I've done something rather silly here, but I just can't put my
finger on it. Any ideas? What is out of space - the process table or
disk (which is not full)...?

Thanks.
