    Default

    The default exim config generated by cPanel isn't optimized very well. You may want to spend some time reading the exim docs to modify your config.

    I run a custom config on cPanel boxes and I no longer have load issues due to exim.

    The rest of those who have gone before us cannot steady the unrest of those to follow.
