Aaron Without looking at your exim config file, it is hard to say why your system behaves as it does. However, there is an exim specific list you can use to get help (be prepared to give more detail including config file details).

Next time it happens, run the exiwhat script as root and those processes will all report on what they are doing.

Problem with Exim
Since upgrading to the latest exim (4.44?) I will occasionally notice I am not receiving mail. I will check the server (ps -ax | grep 'exim') and find that there are dozens of exim processes running (exim -bd -q30m). I will do 'exim.sh stop' but that only kills the initial process and not the others. If I manually kill all the stray processes, as soon as I start receiving mail new ones will appear. If I reboot, then everything works fine for about 24 hours then it starts to happen again. Has anybody else had this happen or does anybody know what might be causing the problem? I do run Exim with Clamav and I keep all my ports updated almost daily. Your time and assistance is greatly appreciated.
