Thanks for the advice, I also forgot to mention that I use solaris 8 latest
patchlevel release on Sparc.
I tried to do this in my /service/qmail/run file:
ulimit -Sn 4096
ulimit -Hn 16384
but still getting the same problem.
This page :http://www.voicenet.com/~orcutt/tech/save.tcptune.htm
talking about tuning the solaris but I am still confused. Some one can help
me to figure it out. This is a nasty error which slows down hole qmail.
Thank you in advance any good ideas are welcome.
