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.

David.
