Subject: [Exim] Solving High Load Problem
My exiwhat command gives me this:
19993 daemon: -q1h, listening on port 25
22089 handling incoming connection from (mx1.state.vt.us) [159.105.23.130]
24785 handling incoming connection from (mx1.state.vt.us) [159.105.23.130]
26338 handling incoming connection from (mx1.state.vt.us) [159.105.23.130] id=16DopR-0006qo-00

My top command gives me:

10:29am up 13:25, 2 users, load average: 2.62, 2.38, 3.64

22089 exim      16   0  1644 1644  1528 R    99.9  0.3  20:25 exim
24785 exim      17   0  1644 1644  1528 R    99.9  0.3  10:28 exim


This will continue until I have several more exim procceses running and my load crashes my server
only running /etc/rc.d/init.d/exim stop
and then a restart /usr/exim/bin/exim -bd -q1h seems to solve this problem.

Please help
