Are you running exiwhat frequently? If so this might be related to
this change in Exim 4.42
4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
