max_daemon_children

Hello Exim's users, I have a question:
Is it possible in Exim limit the number of child processes? Something like
max_daemon_children in Sendmail. Thank you very much. Greetings.

I have never used Sendmail (and never will in my life) so I cannot go
reading about it:-(
What would you like to achieve? What does max_daemon_children do in
sendmail?

Exim processes may or may not be children of the daemon. You may have
some crontab spawning additional processes for running the queue.

But you may investigate "exim -v -bP all | grep max" and then read the
spec about it.

Some starting point could be:

queue_run_max
smtp_accept_max
