It seems like Exim can't finalize handling the message: da6 /var/spool/exim/input % ps auxwwww | grep 29154 mail 29154 26.1 0.0 10560 3680 ? Rs 13:07 1:35 /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1JNS14-0007aD-L2 da6 /var/spool/exim/input % date Fri Feb 8 13:15:33 CET 2008 That process is still bogging down CPU eight minutes after this message has already been delivered to the remote host: 2008-02-08 13:07:48 1JNS14-0007aD-L2 Completed exim -d -qf doesn't help. Simply speaking, It shouldn't, really, as this message is not in queue anymore. This problem is persistent on both v4.68 and v4.69 (on the same host, I upgraded Exim quickly).
