Hi Mark
We have no problem at this stage with the MySQL server not being able to
service the requests from Exim. We are not experiencing problems with bounce
messages, all mail are being accepted but ends up on the Exim queue for some
other reasons...
Perhaps I should have added that the MySQL server is also on a totally
separate server. We use a PHP frontend to administer the mail database which
makes it easy for adding / removing users to the database as well as setting
various other options like mail quotas etc.
Regards.

Hi,
I would get rid of MySQL. Or rather, periodically create a DBM or CDB file
based on the MySQL data, and have Exim consult that instead.
Not only should this be significantly faster, but it won't start bouncing
mail if/when your MySQL server is unreachable.
