if exim gets more than 10 messages in the one smtp connection it will differ them into the queue. This is a good thing in an extremely busy server - especially when queue runs are potentially served by other machines or some sort of cron based queue running is happening.
if you can get fetchmail to reduce the number of mails per smtp session, or look through the exim doco and change it. personally i dont find it incredibly annoying. the only time it causes minor 'problems' on our mail servers is when we do mass mail outs - but i trust the logic of exim to make life easier for itself and other mail servers (especially exchange) Dean On Wed, March 16, 2005 8:56 am, Tamas K Papp said: > I download my mail using fetchmail.
