The kernel ships by default with about 8k file descriptors available. If the system just does email, then you probably have a ulimit setting of 1024 by default, and you can change that by (as root) doing a ulimit -n 2048, or 4096, or whatever and spawning the shell that starts exim, or the shell that starts postfix - whichever is exhausting its resources. There used to be some header twiddling you had to do in 2.2 to get select() to work properly, but I don't think thats an issue anymore. -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan. Or just re-use this one. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
