It might be, since if I try to diagnose one of the processes that bog down
the host I get this:
da6 ~ % ps auxwwww | grep 11500
mail 11500 15.1 0.0 10572 3676 ? Rs 12:58 0:20 /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1JNRse-0002z9-Qu
root 13539 0.0 0.0 3948 748 pts/1 S+ 13:01 0:00 grep 11500
da6 ~ % exim -bp 1JNRse-0002z9-Qu
1JNRse-0002z9-Qu
*** spool read error: No such file or directory ***
I've done exim -d -qf and it didn't seem to report any errors or stop, though it flew too quickly
out of my scrolling window for me to see if smth was wrong...
