Sorry about that. I don't really want to sound like a commercial

I'm about to investigate your other problem with Postgres and I'll look
into this too. Exim does cache connections. The question is therefore,
why hasn't it re-used its previously cached connection? Could you please
send me (off list) the command you were using, and the complete -d9 output?

(I don't know if Postgres is widely used with Exim. I am not an expert
in this area at all.)
