[exim] Tracking causes for delays

[Mike Oliveri]

We've been having a problem lately where messages on our mail gateway 
are getting delayed. They are sent later during the retry, but at times 
delays have been as high as several hours. In looking in the logs, I'm 
not really seeing anything to indicate what the problem is, and was 
hoping someone can give me some additional places to look.

Here's what I've found. I sent a test message to myself from my Gmail 
account, so from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In running a tail against mainlog and greping for moliveri, I find:
2005-05-19 15:50:17 1DYrwA-0000VT-6L <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 
H=rproxy.gmail.com [64.233.170.199] P=esmtp S=1329 / 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

In running exim -bp, I found:
13m  1.3K 1DYrwA-0000VT-6L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
          [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reject and panic logs turn up nothing. On this box, it's Exim 4.50 on 
FreeBSD 5.3 built from Ports (Port has version as 4.50_1). This box 
_does_ run heavy, but I want to narrow down the exact cause if possible.

Thanks,
