Hi Steve!
My smtp_accept_max is set on 100.
all my timeout settings:
queue_only_load = 10
deliver_queue_load_max = 12
remote_max_parallel = 50
smtp_accept_max = 100
smtp_accept_queue = 150
smtp_accept_max_per_host = 40
rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s
delay_warning = 4h:8h:24h:3d
accept_8bitmime
auto_thaw = 8h
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 10h
timeout_frozen_after = 5d
i think that must be enough.
maybe ist a bug that on higher traffic exims doesnt close open mysql
connections...
it's very strange.
greetings,
Florian
