Subject: [EXIM] (Possibly Off Topic) "Too many open files in system" error
Hi -

Here at Heriot-Watt we've just migrated to Exim. The config is
Exim-2.12 running under RedHat 5.2 . The migration took place
over the weekend. Today with all the users getting in, the
machine crashed.

According to the Exim logs, there were a lot of
"Too many open files in system" entries.

Is this a Linux problem, an exim problem or a bit of both?

Anyone got any suggestions or fixes?

Regards

Kevin_C
