I don't _want_ to but at the moment I have no choice to stop exim sprialing out of control. If I allow it to run the queue, it will do it in what seems to be a completely uncontrolled manner. > Meantime, what settings do you have on the > smtp transport in use for these deliveries, > for max_rcpt and serialize_hosts max_rcpt is not set, because I want exim to deliver all message recipients in one SMTP transaction. Also, serialize_hosts was unset. I just tried setting it to *, and it still started running away. > Also, how many processes is "a great number" ? Even with the limits I've given, I see in excess of 20 exim -MC processes one exim -M <message-id> where the message-id following -MC is different. I don't recall the other parameters. -- Russell King -- ## 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/
