[nzlug] Exim: Limiting outgoing connections on Debian

[Leon Matthews]

Afternoon folks.

I'm trying to send a bunch of emails (like 70) with attachments using Exim4
on Debian Sarge and am hitting SMTP timeouts.

It appears that Exim is opening 70 connections, and trying to deliver them
all at once.  This is not ideal, as all 70 connections are to
smtp.ihug.co.nz -- my configured smarthost -- and they timeout before
managing to finish sending any of them.

Anybody know how to limit Exim4 to one connection to my smarthost at a time?

I've just spent the last 20 minutes looking through the Debian Exim
configuration tree and I think I've broken something in my brain... :-P

Cheers,

	Leon
