It works fine for me. Exim 3.33 - but I don't think anything has changed
in this area for a long time. What I get on a telnet test is this:
Trying xxx.xxx.xx.xxx...
Connected to hhhhhh.hhh.hhh.hh.hh.
Escape character is '^]'.
421 hhhhhh.hhh.hhh.hh.hh: Too many concurrent SMTP connections; please try again later
Connection closed by foreign host.
