today at work my exim server (exim 3.4) would freeze (even before the =
banner is displayed) for a minute or two. I didnt change a thing but i =
bet a host in host_reject did. Heres the debug output.

can anyone point me in the right direction as to why this would cause =
exim to freeze all the sudden? The machine was able to do a lookup on =
donerus (both ways). So anyway I commented out host_reject and all was =
fine. Maybe something to do with having donerus in there twice?
