i can't answer your question, but here's some relevant advice for you:
exim doesn't scale. if you want performance, switch to postfix.
On what do you base this conlusion?
the fact that it doesn't scale.
That's not a proven fact here - it's a conclusion. Where's the data to back it up?
I'm not arguing that exim is the most efficient MTA out there. It's probably not. It's no dog either though.
the original poster's system was an example.
That's not proof that the system doesn't scale. It's simply a configuration issue.
allanon:/var/spool/exim/input# du -sh 2.3M . allanon:/var/spool/exim/input# ls -1 |wc -l 407
The original poster is simply not keeping his queue clean of frozen messages.
Several large ISP's in the UK use exim that I know of which seems to indicate otherwise.
several large ISPs around the world use IIS & MS SQL servers too...doesn't make that a good idea, either.
