Try running `pstat -T' and see what number of file descriptors is
generally in use.
FYI, I've had to bump it up to 16384 on a news server; 8192 wasn't enough
during peak times.
I have this as /usr/local/etc/rc.d/0sysctl.sh (the 0 so it gets run first
during boot, before other daemons get started):-
#!/bin/sh
#
sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=16384
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=1
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.keepidle=1800
You probably won't need to increase kern.maxfilesperproc; each sendmail
process typically has < 10 fd's open (log, network connection, two queue
files in /var/spool/mqueue, pipes to delivery agent).
