I’ve compiled a vanilla 4.86 exim binary from standard EDITME setup
(with the exception of removing eximon).
I’ve tried to send an email requesting DSN to a Non DSN Aware mail
server and would therefore expect a DSN to be generated, but none was ?
Debug output :-
Exim version 4.86 uid=0 gid=0
I'm having an issue with Exim 4.63 on a Centos server. Exim will run fine
for a few days then all of a sudden start reporting that there are too many
connections.

Is there a specific reason why you don't just discard them in the acl's ?
Ie, if you don't whitelist then discard. Exim will then quietly drop the
message if all recipients happen to be discarded.

I once did a move where the servers were hosted on somebodyelses network and
they were geographicaly seperated. I used IPTables to forward connections
from the old server to the new one so the switchover was fully under my
control, then the DNS changes followed later - this allowed for easy
rollbac
2 other alternatives :-
Hardware loadbalancer (such as Alteon or F5)
Linux as a loadbalancer - there are various iptables options that can be
used to loadbalance connections, though I'm not sure how well these work if
one of your email servers goes down.
At least with the Alteon load balancers,

I have been pulling my hair out about this for a couple of days, and here is
what I have found - which I believe is inconsistant behaviour in Exim.
Firstly host_randomize=true in routers.

driver = manualroute
dsn_process
transport = remote_smtp
hosts_randomize = true
route_d
We ended up using a transport filter and a bit of python code to do our

Something to the effect of :-

This will process the oldest 100 emails in the queue.
