Re: [Exim] 30 messages sent out for each email

Thanks Giuliano....well, right now, if I grep, it'll return about 500
running processes some of which are defunct. I'm worried that there is a
conf file somewhere where it waits for a response from a smtp request but
times out before it gets it. I've checked the ownership, but have no idea
what they are supposed to be, as I didn't install exim. A df-k reports that
any partition is only 36% at most is used. I have no idea how to check the
limits for mailnull user, and if I did, what should they be?
