Subject: [Exim] Strange Exim problem


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
