Check exim's configuration for DNS queries; you can do that with this command: awk '/exim4.*dns/,/^$/' /var/cache/debconf/config.dat If you see "Value: false" in the output, like this: Name: exim4/dc_minimaldns Template: exim4/dc_minimaldns Value: false Owners: exim4-config Flags: seen then you can try to run (as root): dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and answer "Yes" to the question "Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand)?" That normally helps to reduce the start-up time of the exim daemon. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
