I installed Exim-3.32 on a FreeBSD Box, from the ports. I have configured
this box the same way I've done with the other boxes that I administer
here. The box is does query our Name Server for address resolution and it
runs a cache-only DNS.
When I do nslookup some_host I get instant response.
When I do dig I get instant response
When I do
exim -bt wash
then it takes about 20 seconds before I can get a response.
wash is a local account I have on the box. if I do the same for any other
address the wait time is almost the same, 20 seconds.
On the other boxes I get instant response to all these. However I manually
built exim from a tarball on the other boxes.
The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority
to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral
inferiority to any creature that cannot.
