Manual --force-expire seems to have helped. I only get one timout per day since then - from what I see if multiple mails come in at the same time. What I still get and not understand is warn: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/exim4/.spamassa ssin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists Thanks for all your help so far. Regards, Jürgen
