Package: exim4-daemon-heavy Version: 4.50-8 Severity: important Hello,
I have encounter a problem with exim since 2 weeks or so. I am using the sarge version. >From time to time, there is an exim4 process that eats 100% of the CPU for hours (it doesn't stop until i kill it with a "kill -9" signal). The mainlog keep telling me that another process is handling a lockfile. Here is what i think is relevant concerning the bug : All the error begin here (first occurence of the word "lock"). 2005-06-15 15:31:32 1DiXzP-0003Z4-Rr <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=localhost.gallu.homelinux.org (localhost) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=4722 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-06-15 15:31:32 1DiXzP-0003Z4-Rr => gildor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=ldap_user T=maildrop_ldap_user 2005-06-15 15:31:32 1DiXzP-0003Z4-Rr Completed 2005-06-15 15:32:44 Start queue run: pid=13737 2005-06-15 15:32:44 1DiXmf-0003YT-LQ Spool file is locked (another process is handling this message) 2005-06-15 15:32:44 End queue run: pid=13737 2005-06-15 15:42:49 1DiXmf-0003YT-LQ TLS error on connection to smtp-vip.easynet.fr [212.180.1.59] (gnutls_handshake): A record packet with illegal version was received.

It should be great to have this correction in Sarge, since it made my Sarge server pretty unstable. If you have any hints or you need to have more information, please contact me...
