I configured exim without changing the visible domain name, but this had no effect on the frozen messages. I don't believe needed to reboot because reconfiguring exim restarts it. Perhaps reinstalling exim4 from scratch on both drives would work. But not sure why. Reonfituringf exim meant that I could not longer send mail, and so reverted to my old conifuguration that hides the domain name. -- Haines Brown
