I've been having some problems recently with exim delaying and reporting errors when sending mail. It seems to last a few hours then all the failed messages break loose and send. The machine is a development box running Ubuntu "Edgy Eft" with Exim 4.62-2.
Maybe some insight/help with reading the log is what need. Thanks, Steve Here is a sample of the exim4/mainlog: 2007-04-24 12:36:49 1HgO0X-0002Jo-Rw <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=www-data P=local S=1088 2007-04-24 12:39:47 1HgO3P-0002K8-92 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED]
