How long have you been systems administrators or have used Unix?
No, don't answer that it will depress me.
If you had bothered reading the fucking manual (RTFM) you would know of
two simple, yet very powerfull tools to test your Exim configuration.
one of them is called "-d 9", it outputs all debugging information to
stderr. Now, there is an idea. Run exim on port 2001 with the following
options: -d 9 (notice, no queue runners, no deamon). Then connect to
port 2001 and present Exim with a message. Exim will then start
printing debugging and when it stops you will know at which point, and
can fix it. If that doesn't work, try using strace.
My bet is on DNS response timing out... At least that's what my instinct
tells me.
