Bug#305698: exim4: takes about 8 seconds to run /usr/sbin/sendmail

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-4

Whenever I run /usr/sbin/sendmail (often through and MUA), it takes
around 6-8 seconds to run.  Even running /usr/sbin/sendmail as a plain
command takes a similar length of time.  However, /usr/sbin/sendmail
--version complained very quickly (< .5 seconds) that --version was an
unrecognised option.

Any ideas?
