Good. The original bug surfaced in joeyh's regression testing installations and could be reproduced in a normal system. > The only thing I did notice is that, if I run 'dpkg-reconfigure > exim4-config' _after_ the installation is completed, "restarting MTA" > takes a very long time (something like 30 seconds), but only the first > time I do it. That sounds like a DNS issue. Exim tries to resolve its own hostname, and if that cannot be done, it waits for a DNS timeout. Usual remedy is making sure that the local hostname (hostname _and_ FQDN) is resolvable via /etc/hosts, since for a new install the hostname is unlikely to be available via DNS.

That's a new one. Can you try setting EX4DEBUG to a non-empty value and see where the delay is happening?
