I can't always boot with the network up, but the loopback is up, what can I do to stop this network delay??? And what exactly is it waiting for? It should not be a timeout on dns, b/c both entries are in the hosts file? And why else would exim be trying to access the network?

I am experiencing the same delay when booting with no network cable. Its a network timeout. Try disabling starting the network interface in /etc/network/interfaces and see if that kills the wait, or boot with a connected network. > I am working with exim4. > The only thing I want to configure exim4 to do is to send mail using > an external smtp server.

I think you need to configure exim for mail sent by smart host, no local mail delivery. > Please tell me how to do this, and also how to stop the very very long > pause (about 2 - 3 minutes) on Starting MTA.
