[Mimedefang] accept() returned invalidsocket (Numerical resultoutof range), try again

[Robert Jackson]

Out of 300 connections that I can have without getting this error, 250
are in ESTABLISHED state, and 50 of them are in TIME_OUT state.

I cannot go over 300 connections without getting this error, which seems
abuserd.  

I have adjusted my sendmail timeouts, and it has not helped at all.  I
will attemp to recompile MIMEDefang and libmilter.

Of course that won't help!  You need to recompile libmilter and
MIMEDefang.  Besides, on most systems, you can't just change FD_SETSIZE
and recompile.  You may also need to recompile the kernel.

What OS are you on?  On most modern UNIXes, FD_SETSIZE is at least 1024.

See the timeout discussion -- maybe you have a lot of idle sendmails
hanging around unnecessarily.
