Have similar issue on a FreeBSD 4.11 box we don't want to upgrade, though five minutes is closer than 15. Didn't realize it was a problem, as we don't start Exim until its dependencies (ClamAV, SA, PostgreSQL) are all online. I'd have thought the Linux way with intird runlevels would have done the same, if not better....
