Slightly OT: Exim time-outs

[Richard Thomas]

Are you scanning outbound email? If so, you may be being hit by the 
problem I described earlier where mailscanner leaves disarmed messages 
without a trailing CRLF. With Exim, this makes it fail to put the period 
on a line by itself when sending the message.
