Subject: [Exim] spool file locked for LONG times...

Hi

I'm using Exim 3.12 on FreeBSD 3.4 - everything is working well, except
for one strange thing that happens with majordomo...

I only have one mail list, about 30-40 messages per day, and while most of
them are sent off immediately, sometimes a message arrives and then sits
in the queue for up to one hour before it gets sent off... At the moment
I have a message which has been in the queue for 79 minutes, and every
time exim does a queue run, i get "Spool file is locked" on this message.
In the meantime other messages have come and gone without any problem,
this only seems to affect a few random messages..

Has anyone else experienced this, or know what causes it?
