Use top and/or ps to see if you have too many processes running.
Use free and/or top to see how much memory is free.
Use system dependant tools to see how many file descriptors are free.
This is a unix sysadmin job, possibly best done by someone who knows
that kind of unix.
Adjust your administrative limits.
btw: if you run tcpserver out of a terminal then tcpserver
inherited quite a lot of limits from that terminal. Start it
from init or svscan.

No, although incoming mail will be delayed until tcpserver can
fork again.
