Sujet: [Exim] Increase in Exim daemons whenever there is new SMTP attempt
Hi,

From 3 days I'm faving one issue!!

Mine is :
[root@exim exim]# exim -bV

Configuration file is /etc/exim/exim.conf

========================================
All of sudden the no. of daeomons increases to some random number..

Currently it is
# ps -ef|grep exim
mailnull  2492     1  0 14:08 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m
mailnull  2496  2492  0 14:08 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m
root      2528  2103  0 14:14 pts/2    00:00:00 grep exim
[root@exim exim]#


Whenever there is a SMTP attempt to server, the no. of daemons keeps on
increasing!
Afte sometime it would be like this:

# ps -ef|grep exim
mailnull  2492     1  0 14:08 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m
mailnull  2496  2492  0 14:08 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m
mailnull  2535  2492  1 14:15 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m
root      2538  2103  1 14:15 pts/2    00:00:00 grep exim
[root@exim exim]#


WHAT IS THE CAUSE FOR THIS !!

# more /var/log/exim/main.log
2004-07-10 14:05:17 exim 4.30 daemon started: pid=2437, -q15m, listening
for SMTP on port 25 (IPv4)
2004-07-10 14:05:17 Start queue run: pid=2440
2004-07-10 14:05:17 End queue run: pid=2440

2004-07-10 14:06:59 1BjDLP-0000dY-DR SMTP connection from (tomy)
