My guess would be that it's looking for ~/.forward and such and failing
(but you didn't tell us what your config is, so I'm only guessing).
It might also be failing on trying to set the cwd to /dev/null for $home.

Run `exim -qff -v -d90` to find out exactly what it's deferring on.

How you get around them depends on what is going wrong ...
