Dave, Thanks for the reply. I spent ages looking the exim web site over, and the archives too. But never found the docs. Thanks for that pointer and the reference.
After some consideration I attepmted to up the receive timeout. The default is 5 mins (5m). I changed that to 15m, 30m and then 60m, as below. The problem persists. smtp_receive_timeout = 60m Could you confirm the format I have used is correct. I.E. 60m, not 3600 (s). Is there a command line option to dump out all option settings, including the defaults not set in the config file. I have looked the man pages over in detail and cannot spot such a thing. Finally should I be attempting to adjust the number of server connections? My server is small and lightly used. Do not think heavy engineering should be required. Thanks and Regards, Chris.
