I have found that it means that the disk(s) /var/spool/exim4/db resides on don't have the I/O capacity to meet Exim's needs... ie using IDE drives when you should be using SCSI. In my situation the messages went away when I put the hints databases on a tmpfs ramdisk - for me it wasn't critical that they be saved between reboots, and faster disks weren't an option. -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ## 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/
