Well ...

First I have the Exim paniclog message which gave me a clue as to what could have been
going on.

[code]
IPv6 socket creation failed: Address family not supported by protocol
[/code]

Then I have that adding the line below to the 'Main' section of the exim4.conf.template file
gets rid of both the delay *and* the paniclog message:

[code]
disable_ipv6 = true
[/code]

And lastly I have that I can faithfully reproduce the problem by simply rolling back the edit.
As expected, the rollback brings back both the delay *and* the paniclog message.

Seems as confirmed as can be.
At least to me.

Thanks for your input.

Best,
