I didn't see any evidence that it didn't try to connect. Perhaps it took longer than the 10 second limit you placed. Perhaps the remote server was down. If you're not going to provide the requested configuration or lack of obfuscation, then you'll have to read "man exim" or The Exim Specification section 5.3 to see how to run Exim with debugging turned on. Run it with debugging, including verify debugging, on a non-standard port, connect to that port and see what happens. -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
