I regularly get a few connection timeouts from the spamd service, it's
free and best effort so it's hardly a problem.
Today there was a period, 18:00 - 18:20, where exim couldn't connect at
all, no route to host/conn refused errors.
Since then I am seeing far more connection timeouts.
May indicate a problem on the box running that service, not sure.
Regards,
Nigel

The load balancer for it got overloaded and ran out of memory at
this time.

I'm afraid the spamd service is under massive load at the moment.
It's actually using (VMs on) four servers at the moment, and all
four are regularly out of connections.
Cheers,
Andy

It turns out that just under half of all connections made today were
from a single customer, so I have blocked them from it. Hopefully
this will improve it for everyone else.

Thanks for the info Andy.
If the load has been reduced by half then that's weird becasue I'm still
seeing quite a lot of connection timeouts.
As I said, I don't pay for this service so I'm not complaining, merely
pointing it out.
The email on my server is only personal anyway so I don't have people
complaining at me.
