exim -bP smtp_receive_timeout That should default to five minutes, not five or ten seconds. Perhaps your configuration sets the value differently? I suspect that you've got a config which lowers smtp_receive_timeout to avoid having abusive clients hold open connections, but the client software which you're using is holding open the SMTP connection in case there's another mail to send, and is holding it open for longer than your lowered smtp_receive_timeout value. In which case, either raise smtp_receive_timeout or ignore this log-message for known clients, as it's doing what it's supposed to do. If you're not lowering smtp_receive_timeout but it really is triggering only five or ten seconds after the mail was accepted, then we have a bug and more details would be gratefully received.
