All, I am currently converting my e-mail gateway server from a Solaris 2.7 box to a FreeBSD 4.2 box. After setting up the BSD box I did some basic testing and found the system to be functioning properly. We have a majordomo server which has several mailing lists with 500-1000 users on some of the lists. The problem I have is when someone sends something to a list with many users I get the error "To many open files in system". Issuing the command sysctl -a I see that the kern.maxfiles is 1064. Does anyone have any experience with tweeking these settings for use with sendmail? Machine Specs: FreeBSD 4.2 512 MB 900MHz Sendmail 8.11.5 Bind 9.1.3 Thanks ____________________________________________________________________ Steven D.
