I think I'm in the category of those discussed in another thread.. I
didn't give enough information (but it was late last night).
I'm using Debian, and my SA is 2.20, Exim is 3.35 <blush>

My docs mention the first two, but no rbl_timeout

It really seems that the pipe timeout would be the one, but it defaults
to one hour, and the timeout is 5 min, the default for several of the
other timeouts.
