If it's not a very busy machine, something must be wrong with postfix to cause this error. If it is a busy machine, you can increase the kern.maxfiles. sysctl kern.maxfiles=<number> You can set it in /etc/sysctl.conf to set it at boot time. -- Frederique _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
