exim: time-out error
I have a dialup connection on to my ISP from a single machine using pine,
exim, fetchmail and procmail. My machine's name is Johann and
alpha.futurenet.co.za (alternatively futurenet.co.za) is my ISP.
I cannot remember receiving this message before. It happened twice today:
I was trying to send out a message to a group of people the error message
indicated that some of the messages could not be delivered due to a
timeout error and as far as I understand it, it was my exim which
generated the error:
