It seems there is a pattern with some of the emails that are getting frozen. One client has an daily 'inspirational' legitimate solicited email that she likes to get, which is one of the first ones to get frozen. The vast majority of the frozen messages are spam (I verify that by viewing their bodies) with a lesser amount being legitimate ones.
However when emails have frozen in the past, I do check the exim log and it shows that there was a timed out email saying the childprocess of spamd timed out wile writing to the pipe. That is a very loose interpretation of what the error was without hunting down in my 1.5gb size log. -----Original Message----- From: Jakob Hirsch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 6:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [exim] Exim timeout?

You also said that some messages get freezed. This should normally never happen, so you should look into the exim log why this happens. For other messages that got stuck, you should look if there's a pattern. There's not much more I can tell you without further information. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
