All,

I am currently converting my e-mail gateway server from a Solaris 2.7 box 
to a FreeBSD 4.2 box.  After setting up the BSD box I did some basic 
testing and found the system to be functioning properly.   We have a 
majordomo server which has several mailing lists with 500-1000 users on 
some of the lists.  The problem I have is  when someone sends something to 
a list with many users I get  the error "To many open files in 
system".  Issuing the command sysctl -a I see that the kern.maxfiles is 
1064.  Does anyone have any experience with tweeking these  settings for 
use with sendmail?

Machine Specs:
FreeBSD 4.2
512 MB
900MHz
Sendmail 8.11.5
Bind 9.1.3

Thanks
