Not to be rude, but I have given you a potential way to find out what
was happening. But here goes again for posterity:
1- Kill all exim instances.
2- Starts exim with "-d -bd -q5m" and DO NOT background it.
3- Watch for the debugging option that will tell you where the problem
is. It should give you enough information to be able to trace the
problem.
4- If you cannot work out what the message means, then sned the output
to the above to the list. Needless to say, please do edit the bits that
are not relevant.
Hope that helps.
