Exim Mail delivery connection timeout

[tiggerific]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me where the connection timeout value comes from... see the following log:

Message 1NoLAp-0006Bq-PE is not frozen
LOG: MAIN
cwd=/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot 4 args: /usr/sbin/exim -v -M 1NoLAp-0006Bq-PE
delivering 1NoLAp-0006Bq-PE
Connecting to mail10.****.com [64.34.174.151]:25 ... connected // {took 10 seconds}
LOG: MAIN
SMTP timeout while connected to mail10.****.com [**.**.174.151] after initial connection: Connection timed out // {took over 5 minutes to time out - see below}
Connecting to mail10.***.com [208.77.101.79]:25 ... failed: Connection timed out (timeout=5m)
LOG: MAIN


What I'm referring to is the "timeout=5m" in the above log. I can't find any reference to this in exim configuration, well nothing that has any effect anyway. I don't know if this is a cPanel setting or it's getting info directly from the zone records or what. But, the point is, the mail server should NOT wait 5 MINUTES to timeout on a connection, particularly if there is another MX record it can try (and does eventually).

Please help me find where to change this to maybe 15s.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I recommend searching the official Exim documentation where available configuration directives are detailed:
