I would second the delay greeting -- I've only seen two other issues
with Exim:
1) if the reverse DNS of the location failed, Exim would log the
failure, and may not send mail altogether (seeing that you are on
localhost this should not be an issue -- if that's the header -- if your
web server is separate from your mail server, check and make sure
reverse DNS will work -- Postfix and spam assassin have this problem as
well)
2) your header information is not clear or questionable, and it maybe
blacklisting it. I'm not so sure about this one, I remember someone else
speaking of it previously, but worth a look.
I'd almost certainly say it's the spammer delay or the reverse DNS (if
that's even reasonable) -- but I've never had this issue with a mail
client, only desktop clients sending from specific IP's that are
questionable. In our setup, we have Exim as a front man on our OS X
Tiger server -- it's coupled with spam assassin, postfix, etc, so our
setup is not the same as yours.

Are you intentionally delaying the greeting in order to stop
spammers? If so, how many seconds are you delaying? I see these
sorts of errors from spammers all the time.
Try turning debugging on, as it should print out stuff from the
smtp connection.

One problem.
When I send mail, RoundCube says the mail has been sent, but the mail
never
arrives. An examination of my Exim4 log shows the issue:
2006-03-21 01:27:02 SMTP protocol synchronization error (next input
sent too
soon: pipelining was advertised): rejected "MIME-Version: 1.0"
H=localhost [
127.0.0.1] next input="Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 1:27:02 -0500\r\nFrom:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Exim4 is working fine for sending other mail. I can send mail through it
with Mutt for example. It recieves mail fine too.
Anyone seen this problem?
