I have these global settings on exim config: # exim4u: Values to modify to fix "Connection Refused: Too Many Connections" smtp_accept_max = 400 smtp_accept_max_per_host = 20 smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0 Exim has never chocked on any post to this ML. As Jared has explained, which I think is a better approach if you have big lists, you can control the settings from mailman.cfg. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.
