It’s caused by the massive connections connected into the server sending out newsletter(large database unstoppable loops) from one host.

2006-06-15 08:50:20 Connection from [201.xx.xx.xx] refused: too many connections

2006-06-15 08:50:28 Connection from [201.xx.xx.xx] refused: too many connections
2006-06-15 08:50:32 Connection from [201.xx.xx.xx] refused: too many connections

Exim default allow maximum 20 connections from a host. You can increase the connection in the main configuration file by adding in this line;

smtp_accept_max = 50
