If inetd accepts more than N connections a minute, it makes a determination
that the service it's launching is broken, and throttles additional incoming
connections. The default limit I believe is about 40. To change the limit
to, say, 100, change the word "nowait" in your inetd.conf file to "nowait.100"
and reload.
Not that I necessarily recommend running an MTA out of inetd in the first
place. :-) I hope you at least have the exim equivalent of "sendmail -q"
in your crontab.
Good luck,
