System:

- Debian 12
- Exim 4.98 - rebuild from Debian Backports with ARC enabled
- MX'er for several domains, forwarding to a seperate Dovecot server

Action:

- systemctl restart exim4 / systemctl stop exim4

Symptom:

- Restarting or stoping can take several minutes in which nothing obvious happens - At least one mail is then frozen and the data file in the spool is lost

Logfile:

Any ideas?

Is dovecot running when exim shuts down ?
