Subject: [Exim] Help: connection lost and message abandoned errors
I posted about this problem a couple weeks ago without any answers or
replies. Searching
the mailing lists results in next to no information at all about this. I
am seeing this
problem occur more often:

I am running exim 4.40, with the exiscan acl patch applied on a FreeBSD
4.9 server.
I have attempted to disable both spamassassin as well as clamd and still
have the same
results.

One of the bounce messages that I have seen is:

The following text was generated during the delivery attempts:
