Ah, ah, not again.
You're right that the entropy available is low (currently 2) and I
noticed that can be a problem for dovecot regenerating keys every day.
But until now I didn't have exim problems I connected with this.
Since the connections from myrealbox com in with
X=TLS-1.0:DHE_RSA_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA:24, I guess you're right.
Will have to change this setting and see if it gets better.
Though I don't see what causes exim keep these child processes running
for hours. netstat says about those connections:
tcp 89 0 192.168.0.1:25 smtp-send.myrealb:50333 CLOSE_WAIT
So, the remote end doesn't keep it alive.
