Some of our clients are sending group mails as big as 300 recipients, but since we have applied some addtional ACL rules processing+delivery of message like this can take over 10 minutes - and that's the problem since exim recieves SIGTERM signal every 10 minutes and it leads to the termination of the message processing:

to be sure I have ran: exim -M 1Dt5ce-0004IQ-FP -d and could see no errors but proccess termination on every 10 minutes (see above)



What can I do to change this - to make something what is sending SIGTERM signals to exim to send it - let's say every 20 minutes instead of 10 ?


Thanks a lot guys

The problem is solved


I have found this in crontab:

*/10 * * * * /etc/init.d/exim restart >/dev/null 2>&1


I don't know how it did get there, but I how could I miss it ... oh well ...
