AW: [Exim] Outlook timeouts

Greg,

| I have Exim v4.24 running on Windows XP using Cygwin and Outlook as a
| client. Outlook intermittently hangs while sending mail and I'm
| reasonably confident that the problem is a Microsoft
| "feature". I have seen that Postcast has a special option to
| handle Outlook clients and I'm hoping that somebody here may be able
| to help with something similar that I can tune to get past Outlook's behaviour.

maybe you want to try this:


# The settings below, which are actually the same as the defaults in the
# code, cause Exim to make RFC 1413 (ident) callbacks for all incoming SMTP
# calls. You can limit the hosts to which these calls are made, and/or change
# the timeout that is used. If you set the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls
# are disabled. RFC 1413 calls are cheap and can provide useful information
# for tracing problem messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems
# with them. This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused
# connection, leading to delays on starting up an SMTP session.

rfc1413_hosts = *
rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s
