Tárgy: [Exim] problems with accept-parameters(?)
I've configured in our exim configure:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
remote_max_parallel = 5
...
smtp_accept_max = 100
smtp_accept_queue = 20
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 20

30min ago I had checked our test mailrelay
exim + amavis (perl-11) + sophos


which has a amavis-transport to check every mail for one
of our 4 MTA in domain urz.uni-magdeburg.de.

Therefore I stopped our fast primary mailrelay!

Yesterday I had realized the same attempt, but with other
accept-options:
smtp_accept_queue = 99
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 99

It was a "good" crash....after 5min I had more than 90 amavis-processes
and ... also sophos-clients (called from amavis) and more than 100 exim-
processes.... and that at a host with only 256MB Memory...

I'cant do anything ....

and today with the reduced options:

smtp_accept_queue = 20
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 20

After 5min I had more than 60 amavis-calls ...(and it goes up...)
(amavis will be called only in 1 transport which delivers email to
our 4 urz-MTA)

I had thought, that with the option

smtp_accept_queue = 20

only (max.) 20 delivery processes can work parallel ...20 x amavis...

Where is here the mistake ???
