Subject: [EXIM] Plenty of processes!
Hi --

I'm seeing one hell of a lot of processes under exim 2.12 (of which this is
only a portion). This isn't too bad in itself, but every week or so it
causes the box to die with lack of memory.

We haven't had chance to upgrade to 3.02 yet. Anyone got any ideas please?
