Hello,

the call out is done by the first exim instance because it has to accept
the incoming mail.

    outside -> exim1
                 \> child handling the incoming connection
                      \acl> -> calling to mail server of relayed domain
                      \transport> -> pipe to spamd/amavisd -> exim2


It is a problem of exim 4.82. The child daemon dies using the minimal
configuration of Heiko Schlittermann and "sending" an email to
nobody@??? (this is not a problem calling out to mail.is.mpg.de). I
think, the call out code was changed so that it uses the routers and
transports of the configuration file. When I'm using the configuration file

spool_directory = "/var/spool/exim_2525"
pid_file_path = "/var/spool/exim_2525/exim.pid"
log_file_path = /var/log/exim/%s_2525log
daemon_smtp_port = 2525

     acl_smtp_rcpt = accept verify = recipient/callout


     begin routers


         dns:
             driver = dnslookup
             transport = vscan
             more = no


     begin transports


         vscan:
            driver = smtp
            port = 10024
            hosts_avoid_esmtp = localhost
            hosts = localhost
            hosts_override
            allow_localhost


all recipients are accepted. In the debugging output of the calling out
routine I see

that the call out is done to the amavis daemon at localhost (that is
accepting all recipients). The remote mailers are resolved correctly
(tahini.csx.cam.ac.uk, boom.graemef.net) but the call out is done using
the vscan transport. I don't know thats happening when the the transport
is a pipe. There was no core dumped so that I don't know in which
routine the signal was caught. Running exim in debugging mode there are
syslog entries like
exim[24106] general protection ip:42a645 sp:7fffb6e31030 error:0 in
exim-4.82-3[400000+bf000]

running in normal daemon mode there are
exim[16121]: segfault at 1 ip 000000000042a645 sp 00007fff23862d10 error
4 in exim-4.82-3[400000+bf000]
entries.
