I think we need more details on the claims. Exim can handle deferred
delivery no problem.

Can you point us to the thread so that we know what the issue really is?

Others more knowledgeable on the internals will reply I am sure but I
have never had any sort of resource problems using exim. I guess it
depends on how you implement the greylisting. Exim is very
configurable and you can do most anything with it (more or
less :-) ) though some ways of configuring it will be less than
optimal. That is a problem with the implementor, not exim itself.
