Performance Issues

[Anakin SkyWalker]

RBLs working fine within Exim
No SA extras, I had to stop SA scanning to increase

Yes I have a caching name server running on.
Lots of german stuff, yes!
Human interference means: flush incoming connections,
let mailscanner work all alone with the queue until
its stable again.
