Subject: [Exim] Help please : SMTP Relay Messages Frozen
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Hi,
I use Exim 4.22 and try to send mails to users not hosted on my server. The
problem is that I can send mails to local users also authentication seems to
work fine but when I send a email to someone not on my server the message is
frozen.
When I look in the mainlog I see error messages like this one :
2003-09-04 10:01:16 19up3K-00018R-VQ == hans-peter.richter@???
<Hans-Peter.Richter@???> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer
(-1): smtp transport process returned non-zero status 0x000b: terminated by
signal 11
2003-09-04 10:01:16 19up3K-00018R-VQ Frozen
I used exim_tidydb to clean the db files I even erased them and tried it
again without any luck.
I attach my config and really do hope someone can help me. Thank you.

# #
# Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to #
# HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up the new configuration #
# until you do. However, any other Exim processes that are started, for #
# example, a process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will #
# see the new configuration as soon as it is in place. #
# #
# You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files that #
# are referenced from this file. They are read every time they are used. #
# #
# It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for syntactic #
# correctness before installing it (for example, by running the command #
