That's a retryable error and may or may not eventually be successfully
retried depending on what's actually causing it.

The recipient MX is saying your IP already has the maximum number of
concurrent connections open and it won't accept this additional one.

The connections in question are presumably those from Exim on the cPanel
host to the recipient MX since Mailman will never open more concurrent
delivery SMTP sessions to Exim than there are OutgoingRunner slices
(default 1).

You might be able to tell from the Exim logs how many other deliveries
to that MX have been started and not completed when the error occurs.

I'm not an Exim expert by any means, but it looks like Exim's
queue_run_max setting might affect this. The default is 5 which should
be small enough, but if you have it set to a large number or to 0 ->
unlimited, this could be the issue.

[Mailman-Users] Non-Delivery of Mail

[David Andrews]

I run a cPanel system that, among other things, supports about 300 
Mailman lists. We have about 20,000 users. I am getting lots of 
bounced messages from roadrunner.com and various XXX.rr.com domains. 
It looks like they may be blocking my domain nfbnet.org although I am 
not sure how you tell.


When I look at a mail delivery report via cPanel, I see messages that 
say 421 too many concurrent connections, connection refused.  What 
can I change to fix this problem!


Thanks!
