To establish a cryptographically protected connection, exim (or GnuTLS in the case of Debian's exim packges) need a certain quantity of random numbers which it tries to pull from Linux' entropy pool. On your system, that entropy pool is empty, so exim waits until enough random has been found. You need to investigate which sources of random numbers are available on your system. If you're lucky, your machine has a hardware random number generator, so all you need to do is install the rng-tools. OK, from what I understand exim trys to encrypt that message or something from that communication to the destination server? But why do all other outgoing mail addresses work? Is there a way to tell exim not to encrypt anything?

Tony already gave you the answer for how to avoid outgoing TLS, but
that's a bandaid -- you should probably fix your entropy problem, or
you'll have trouble with anything else you use TLS for on this
computer, including encryption for incomming authenticated SMTP (for
which disabling TLS would be a big mistake).
OK, wrote
remote_smtp:
debug_print = T: remote_smtp for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
driver = smtp
hosts_avoid_tls = *
to my /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport//30_exim4-config_remote_smtp,
did an update-exim4.conf, then an /etc/init.d/exim4 reload and
whupps... mail is going out, thanks a lot.
I disabled plain SMTP auth, I use cram_md5, I guess that works OK, does it?
conf.d/main/30_exim4-config_examples:
cram_md5_server:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
server_secret =
${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$1}lsearch{CONFDIR/passwd}{$value}fail}}}
server_set_id = $1
cram_md5:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name =
${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$host}lsearch*{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
client_secret =
${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$host}lsearch*{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
Everything else is on comment.
Thanks again!

[exim] Spool file is locked (another process is handling this message)
Hi, I am relatively new to exim and have a big problem. I am using Exim 4.50 on Debian Sarge on my personal mail server which is a virtual server. It is the exim4-daemon-heavy package. Everything works fine for some months now, but since last week I am unable to send mails to one specific guy. When I type mailq I see these mails which do not get send. I am able to send mail to any other address I have tested. The mainlog says: 2005-09-29 02:09:29 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw Spool file is locked (another process is handling this message) which is of course repeated every 30 seconds. Does anybody have any idea what this may be? I cannot think which other process this could be. I use clamav and spamassassin which are scanning incoming messages but these are outgoing messages and any other receipient works. Thanks for any help, Oliver -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/

Re: [exim] Spool file is locked (another process is handling this message)
1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw Spool file is locked (another process is handling this message) If it's an exim queue runner process holding the lock, exiwhat will show it. In that case, killing the process should release it, I think. exiwhat | grep 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw showed this: 16805 running queue: waiting for 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw (16965) 16965 delivering 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw: waiting for a remote delivery subprocess to finish 17379 delivering 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw to domain.de [IP.Address.Anonymized.:-)] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Killing does not help because the next time I send a mail to that receipient it starts again. I can send mail however to all other mail adresses but this one. It's my brother's and he says that he sah no problem getting emails from others.
