I think it's a "spam has got worse" effect. It means that the far end chopped the connection even before Exim could figure out anything about it. > Since I can't seem to take any action to fix it, maybe it doesn't > belong in the paniclog at all?

It's probably there because I assumed that getsockname() shouldn't ever fail when I wrote the code, long ago. You are probably right in that this particular failure doesn't belong in paniclog. I'll do something about that. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## 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/
