By "without logging" i mean that exim was not writing any further data
to the log file due to the fact that it had hit the maximum log size.
Any "hang" would only have been caused by exim waiting for the data to
be written to the log file as server B is not doing any sender
verification, spam scanning etc and is set to queue only over a load avg
