I've been running exim on debian for a while, and while it's generally 
excellent, I'm having a few pronblems at the moment that I've been 
unable to solve.

Issues include spamassassin failing to stop spam (occasionally needs a 
restart), bouncing mail, some SMTP / MD5 errors.

One main thing I would like to do is improve the logging, and get a real 
handle on how to customise the logging.  At the minute everything is 
pretty much is the mainlog - I'd like to log things in to seperate files 
e.g. SMTP authentication, incoming SMTP connections, etc.

Can anyone give some tips / point me at documentation / examples on this?


In particular, this is the current error report I have, which suggest a 
smtp timeout?
