In my exim4.conf there is an original note that says:

# This sets the maximum number of messages that will be accepted in one
# connection. The default is 10, which is probably enough for most
purposes,
# but is too low on dialup SMTP systems, which often have many more mails
# queued for them when they connect.
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 100

I increased the level to 100, so i am still "low".
The question is: how to relax this limit only for mail delivered from a set of hosts ?
