Hello everyone,

On some hosts I get multiple Exim process handling the same
email:

dr1 (83.149.101.180) /home % ps auxw | grep "exim -Mc"
root     27149  0.0  0.0   8288  2564 ?        S    12:14   0:00 /usr/sbin/exim 
-Mc 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
mail     27150  0.0  0.0   8292  1104 ?        S    12:14   0:00 /usr/sbin/exim 
-Mc 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
mail     27152  0.0  0.0   8292   804 ?        S    12:14   0:00 /usr/sbin/exim 
-Mc 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
root     27160  0.0  0.0   3940   740 pts/2    S+   12:14   0:00 grep exim -Mc

This mail is not there in queue anymore:

dr1 (83.149.101.180) /home % exim -bp 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
      1JPFZK-00073i-6F
    *** spool read error: No such file or directory ***

Anybody knows what's up with those overhead handlers? And how 
to fix this?

Those instances quickly expire now - it's been related to the problem I reported
earlier in "Exim child processes segfault" thread, but I semi-fixed it by 
changing
Exim compilation flags - but still, it isn't pretty and more importantly, it 
can potentially
cause some bigger problem.
