I found the problem! Kinda... It turns out it is the Exim server. I just ran the Exim command to see how many e-mails are in the queue:
exim -bpc And it kicked back 2292... how the heck is there all that e-mail, and why? I just set up another forward that forwards to my gmail account, and it forwards instantly. Now that I've tracked the culprit down, what to do next? Thanks again everyone!
