By default, Exim will tell you why, with a log-line, when it doesn't deliver immediately. This appears to have been turned off in your installation -- I don't know if that's Debian or site-local. This is the "delay_delivery" log selector field. See: https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-log_files.html#SECTlogselector If you run: exim -bP log_selector then you'll see the actual configured value. Get the default logging of "why we're not delivering immediately" turned back on, and you should be in a stronger position. If it is turned on, then ... look for signs of a crashing Exim process (eg, complaints in dmesg). -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
