(taking the 2xx variant)
I tried truss to trace the system calls of both processes. 77631 is not printing anything.
You don't even get a single line from truss as it attaches? I wonder if the process is spinning in userland? Does "top" or similar show it? If it is, I guess the next step would be to crash it with a signal, having set up for coredumps (NB, exim is a setuid binary in most installations. Security considerations apply). Of course, it was likely compiled with full optimisation which will hinder us. Having a "-O0 -ggdb" build would help. I don't know what FreeBSD does about debuginfo; is that likely to be a separate install item, to get symbols for the binary? --------
This happens for messages which get a 4xx or 5xx error.
For all 4xx/5xx ? Or "when it goes wrong, for those, that's how it goes" ? -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://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/
