Not to worry - space I have plenty of.

'Seriously' indeed! Swatting flies with a BFH.

back from testing now...

What I see a need for is one more step - run it through a grep to trim it to 
the 
very specific detail sought.

JFWIW - turns out that w/r to SQL, I cache exactly ONE item. The *specifier* 
for 
the connection to the DB as ordained in MAIN. Not, AFAICS, the actual 
connection 
itself.

That's actually what I expected.

Also 'well known' is that I would exhaust the (default) PostgreSQL connection 
pool well before Exim got groggy. And I almost never even get close to that 
limit - not with a strict rDNS check and tight limits on parallel connections 
from any given IP.

Thanks, all.
