I am not sure I understand how the milter is called. Most of these 500 connections don't get passed the blacklist checks I have included in the sendmail config. Only maybe 10 or so do. How can 10 milter connections cause this, or are the connections still made even though they are denied.

It means that the accept() system call in libmilter is returning a file descriptor greater than or equal to FD_SETSIZE. There! :-) What it actually means is that there are too many milter threads running for libmilter to work. You might be able to recompile libmilter to use poll() instead of select(). Another solution is to add machines so you have fewer than 500 concurrent milters, or to figure out if you can shorten your SMTP sessions so you have fewer concurrent milters.
