Translation to OPs specific situation: - Uninstall Exim on the upstream server - Install Postfix 2.5.5 on the upstream server. - Raise the destination concurrency limit to allow use of downstream plant capacity, the default 20 is likely too low for this environment. A limit of 100 or more may be more reasonable. - Disable demand caching globally or with transport used for this destination. The place where this delivery channel needs to be tuned is upstream. -- Viktor. Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored. Please do not ignore the "Reply-To" header.
