Hello,
it seems to me that proportional to traffic there are additional
processes 'exim4 -bd -q30m' are created and keep existing. At the end
the machine doesn't accept emails anymore.
ps -ef | grep exim4 looks like:
root 29025 1 0 2006 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -q

My exim4 works together with courier imap, sqwebmail and postgresql.
