Can anyone explain this error for me?

I end up having to shutdown binkd and restart to clear.

Is there a setting in config I should be changing or ??

"Too many servers" is that we called 'BUSY' in modem days. :)

You should increase 'maxservers' config value.

There are these:

#
# Max. number of inbound/outbound connections
#
#maxservers 2
#maxclients 2

The default for both is 100. So if you haven't set them, something is wrong! ;) If you have set them try increasing the value, or comment them out to use the default.

I set them to 100 I had then at 5 - thanks to both you and Andrew for your replies. I'll see how I get on with that now :)

In your BinkD config file what do you have for you "maxservers" and "maxclients".I think the default is 2 but I usually need to raise that up
if I am hubbing mail or files or the like.

The default is 100 for both if they are not specified! In the example config it
shows 2 though, which I think is unnecessarily low...

and yet one popular configuration is with them set to 1 so that it is much easier to parse the logs for stats on each connection ;)

Yeah, I ran into that problem rather quickly when I used the preexisting setting of 2 for both in the BinkD config file when I first setup BinkD some years back. Yesterday I installed/compiled the current snapshot of BinkD on a Linux machine here and those were just two of the settings that were changed.

Odd, in all of the default BinkD config files that I have seen. Most were
were already set with each set to 2 while some others had the those settings commented out. I ran into the the max server issue early on and raised that number up first thing.
