Re: [Exim] timeouts

Hi Phil,

This is what I get, it calls search_tidyup and then it waits :

semafoor/etc: exim -d9 root
Exim version 3.12 debug level 9 uid=1000 gid=1000
probably Berkeley DB version 1.8x (native mode)
semafoor in local_domains? yes (matched semafoor)
Actual local interface address is 127.0.0.1
Actual local interface address is 192.168.10.2
user name "Bart van Dommelen" extracted from gecos field "Bart van
Dommelen,,,"
sender address = bart@semafoor
set_process_info: 228 3.12 accepting a local non-SMTP message from
<bart@semafoor>
Sender: bart@semafoor
Recipients:

search_tidyup called
