Assuming you are using Exim4, the README.Debian in the docs lists a number of ways to solve this by limiting the DNS lookup including: use dc_minimaldns='true' (Either edit /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf or use dpkg-reconfigure exim4-conf). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
