Bug#610439: Since last exim4 update, all messages are frozen in a queueonly demon.

[David Hill]

Hi Andreas,

    I'm starting it with /etc/init.d/exim4.out and /etc/init.d/exim4.out ... 
my configuration is the one suggested by mailscanner themselves and is/was 
working great.   Rolling back to stable debian solves the issue.

Dave
