exim: too many connections?
hey debianistas, long time no chat! debian cruises along rock solid so
nicely... :)
but recently we're seeing a TON of these --
2008-03-13 10:32:36 Connection from [67.55.80.182] refused: too many connections
2008-03-13 10:32:37 Connection from [75.146.102.69] refused: too many
connections
2008-03-13 10:32:37 Connection from [201.34.170.231] refused: too many
connections
2008-03-13 10:32:38 Connection from [92.49.136.189] refused: too many
connectionsroot
and there's NEVER a moment where we don't have 25+ connections active.
this is for a small office in town, so my guess is that most of this
traffic is unsolicited. we're using VEXIM so the config is nonstandard
-- for greylisting we had to 'greylistd-setup-exim4 add exim4.conf
acl_check_rcpt')
anybody here come up with a clever approach on how to handle this?
i've googled to find that others are having a similar problem, but
haven't run into any handy solutions yet... too many connections, too
many connections!
if you've encountered this i'd love to know how you handled it...
