Exim, refused: too many connections
One of our mailserver having problem last week. It’s caused by the massive connections connected into the server sending out newsletter(large database unstoppable loops) from one host.

Exim default allow maximum 20 connections from a host. You can increase the connection in the main configuration file by adding in this line;
smtp_accept_max = 50
