Internal default values always get exposed as the default value of an option and can be interrogated with `exim -bP`. As Jonathan Haynes points to the correct option: % exim -bP smtp_accept_max_per_connection smtp_accept_max_per_connection = 1000 > I can set smtp_accept_queue_per_connection to a suitably large number > - but that leaves the question: should I need to? That controls the number of messages at which Exim will stop trying to deliver each message individually immediately, but will instead route the messages and set up retry hints, so that a later delivery attempt will pick up all the messages for a remote host and deliver them at once. Er, as is happening to you. So even if you raise your `smtp_accept_max_per_connection` limit, you probably don't want to raise the SMTP Transport's `connection_max_messages` value (default 500) which is the sending counterpart. Investigate `exim -qq...` as a replacement for `exim -q...`. -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
