what is this for ?

[hostu]

hi all, this is from the exim.conf file---

message_size_limit = 20M
smtp_receive_timeout = 5m
smtp_accept_max = 100
message_body_visible = 3000
print_topbitchars = true


what is the effect or what does the number (100) do or control or whatever in the line

smtp_accept_max = 100



thanks

Interesting that if you type that exact line into google and click on I'm Feeling Lucky you get a forum thread with the answer .

It's the number of messages exim can accept at the same time. Changing the number downwards slows down email reception and changing it upwards will affect system resources available to other services.

A complete Exim manual may be found here.
