=>Hie,

Please take a look at the man page for sysctl

The problem could be elsewhere if sendmail is properly configured. I am
sure it has nothing to do with DNS.
The other time I has a similar message I was advised to increase maxusers
in the kernel file and I think it did the trick. You could try that and
recompile the kernel.

you could also try, as root, sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid=N (where N is a
number twice what it is now) and you find that out by sysctl
kern.maxprocperuid

There may be other views though...

=>I have a problem with my machine. It is running FreeBSD 4.0 and is basically
=>running two major services - SMTP and POP3. It runs Sendmail and
=>Qpopper3.0.2. It's bringing me a table full error and everything is going
=>crazy when it does that. How can I increase the size of this proc table?
=>
=>And also, when the machine gets this table full error, all the other
=>machines on the network go crazy as well. I cannot browse any web sites
=>(gives error 800c0008) and the mail clients give errors 0x800cc0f for POP3
=>and 0x800ccc0e for SMTP. The mail server has 64MB RAM. My DNS runs on Win NT
=>(MS DNS Server) and has 160MB RAM. I am suspecting either the DNS or
=>Sendmail to be causing my problem, and I would like to know where to start
=>to look. Or is it maybe a network hardware problem? Or virus?
=>
=>Here is my dmesg for the mail server.
