Too many connections from your ip address (reached max connections)

Receiving this error on some servers today, not all, but more than one. I've got busier servers with the same setting in exim.conf that aren't affected. /scripts/exim4 seemed to fix the problem, but one of my customers came back and said that it has started up again. I haven't found any worthwhile suggestions for fixing this. Simply increasing the number of connections is a poor solution; more of a bandaid. One of the customers has the "Attempt to prevent pop3 connection floods" box UNchecked and is still getting the error.

I'll answer any questions I can. Please forgive this post, I'm going on about 2 hours sleep in the last day and a half and am not very coherent right now.
