Is there a more detailed explanation of that problem? Philip often states that Exim's delivery model was designed for an always-connected situation where most of the mail is deliverable on the first attempt. There was certainly no concept of business-as-usual deliberate deferral (of which greylisting is an example) around then. It's not trivial to tune Exim's retry mechanism to optimize delivery under greylisting I guess. > Speaking accross the board, is it true that Exim has bad (it need more > resources) queue handling?
