Hi Guys
Not sure where the problem might be exactly, but here is the scenario. We have a Postfix, MailScanner server that filters mail and passes it onto an Exim server for local delivery.
On the Postfix server, as soon as a mail comes in with multiple recipients (10 or more) it just hangs in the queue. The error message on the Exim logs come through as
2007-09-21 09:16:36 SMTP connection from (x.x.x.x) [x.x.x.x] lost while reading message data (header)
Error logs on the Postfix server comes through as
Sep 21 09:22:32 filter01 postfix/qmgr[4132]: 9F8413FC46F: to=<xxx@???>, relay=none, delay=13, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: conversation with x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x] timed out while sending MAIL FROM)
This only happens for mail with multiple recipients, any and all other mails are going through just fine.
I found a article by Tony Finch here,
http://fanf.livejournal.com/74849.html, which seems to be somewhat similar to my problem, but can't seem to find a definate answer from wither Postfix not Exim.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

Since that's what lsearch* is supposed to be, something else is
happening in your configuration.
"Default values in single-key lookups":
If "*" is added to a single-key lookup type (for example, lsearch*) and the
initial lookup fails, the key "*" is looked up in the file to provide a default
value. See also the section on partial matching below.
You'll need to post the Routers section of your config file and
preferably also the output of "exim -d+route+lookup -bt root".
