Nigel,

After making the configuration changes, and restarting exim, I received more
of these error messages in dmesg.

If I can run anything here that will help track this down, please let me
know, and I will be happy to help.

Again, it isn't affecting my site, just logging some messages, so don't take
this email as a request to do something, or help in any way. It is just
informational in the event that it helps you solve a future problem.

Terry.

Have a look at the thread starting at:-
http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20030519/054265.html

I presume you have not got an ipv6 configuration, so no ipv6 modules
loaded, however the system etc is ipv6 enabled (Red Hat in general is).

My theory is that the module loader is somehow triggering this, but I
have not been able to produce sufficient evidence to beat Arjan at RH up
enough for him to go and look at it.  I worked round this by explicitly
forcing ipv4 usage throughout - by setting
        dns_ipv4_lookup = *
        local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1:<my ip>
