One downside seems to be that it creates lots of exim processes, and I am not sure why yet. It may be open connections with dropping data as a result of the recently added iptables rule
Some sites try many simultaneous connections. Have you got this set? exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim-config_options: . . .ifndef SMTP_ACCEPT_MAX_PER_HOST SMTP_ACCEPT_MAX_PER_HOST = 3 .endif smtp_accept_max_per_host = SMTP_ACCEPT_MAX_PER_HOST . .If it's there, and it wasn't in mine by default, you can then set and alter it in exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros where things are easier to find.
Don't forget you've used a delay so there may be many overlapping open connections waiting out the timeout.
