  root@server [/] ulimit -n 922222 did the trick restart exim - no more error but again no emails were transported as mailscanner service was stopped - restarted mailscanner now it works. how can i set the ulimit to a fixed size - so in case of reboot this wont happen again? sysctl -a | grep fs.file-max fs.file-max = 13055535 more /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 135168 0 13055535 lsof | wc -l 6179726
