Tony, The sender is the local host, (I am sending them from an application on the Exim server). Does this mean that Exim is failing to cope? Or is it the Linux mail command?
This behavior didn't start until I upgraded my Exim from v4.32 to v4.62. The number of outgoing messages never reaches the smtp_accept_max of 20. Also the process that is sending the emails does them sequentially, waiting for the last one to finish processing before submitting the next one (using Linux mail command). I did perform a Google search on 'Exim "connection limit reached for all hosts' and the only results that returned pointed to the serialize_hosts option. If my logic is flawed, please point it out.

The error message you see is a result of the smtp_accept_max option. The messages aren't being dropped by Exim - whatever is sending them is failing to cope with the limits you have told Exim to impose.
