We have lots of large mailing lists, and I have deliveries failing with "too many open files" from sendmail. How can I increase this safely from the defaults? (We have source, so recompilation of just about anuthing is possible.) I know it's a dumber question than I'd like to be asking, but i'm just buried... Thanks.
