No. I don't have two exim daemons. Or two separate binaries (why
should I?).

The incoming queue logs to a separate log file. It's there where
incoming connection requests are sorted out. Therefore the log file
grows fast and carries a lot of entries like 

2012-08-15 06:25:07 [8919] no IP address found for host natas.kfa.cx (during 
SMTP connection from cpe-71-66-109-74.neo.res.rr.com [71.66.109.74]:54206

I think that modifying the config to use one log file would be easier. ;-)

Thank you for your thoughts.
