It hasn't had this problem for several revisions. It limits the number
of connections it tries to one system so that it won't hang a bunch
of mail delivery daemons waiting for one down host.
As far as I can tell, exim is a good choice for a system that supports
a lot of users (because it reduces the overhead of delivery with mail
filters on the local system). Qmail is good for a server or other
special-purpose system. We run the list server and the bug system on
qmail.
Thanks
