Ah, ah, not again. You're right that the entropy available is low (currently 2) and I noticed that can be a problem for dovecot regenerating keys every day. But until now I didn't have exim problems I connected with this. Since the connections from myrealbox com in with X=TLS-1.0:DHE_RSA_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA:24, I guess you're right. Will have to change this setting and see if it gets better. Though I don't see what causes exim keep these child processes running for hours. netstat says about those connections: tcp 89 0 192.168.0.1:25 smtp-send.myrealb:50333 CLOSE_WAIT So, the remote end doesn't keep it alive.
