Recently, the last few days, I have been experiencing some strange problems
with exim.
It only seems to be partially listening on port 25.
ie. When I telnet to our mail server, port 25, I get the following :
Trying 10.0.0.10...
Connected to 10.0.0.10.
Escape character is '^]'.
It just sits here for ever.
If I restart or HUP exim, and try again, it works fine for a few hours
before reverting back to the above behaviour.
ie. The following appears immediately.
Trying 10.0.0.10...
Connected to 10.0.0.10.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 relay2.allsecurenet.com ESMTP Exim 3.33 #2 Tue, 16 Oct 2001 08:26:15
+0100
The really strange thing is that this server has been working properly for
months, and now without any kind of user intervention it has started
breaking on me.
I am currently running Exim 3.33 on a SuSE Linux platform.
Can anyone suggest any further diagnosis I could perform to get to the
bottom of this? Its thoroughly confusing me!
Thanks and Kind regards,
Paul Miles
