All,
Thanks to all those who have responded so quickly. I forgot to add
information...sorry it was late.
I did not install or configure Exim, but have the task to fix it.
This is Exim 4.23 judging from log files, etc...
RedHat Linux (suspect v7.x. not sure)
I rebooted last night after posting the message.
I believe exim to be started at level 3 via script as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#
# exim This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# exim.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
# description: Exim is a Mail Transport Agent, which is the program \
# that moves mail from one machine to another.
# processname: exim
# config: /etc/exim.conf
# pidfile: /var/run/exim.pid
# Source function library.

everytime an email is sent, 30 copies are sent as well. A ps -ef | grep
exim returns about 300 processes running some of which are defunct. Getting
ready to uninstall and reinstall unless there's a quick fix. Thank you in
