If you ever wondered, why exim4 needs so long to start when you have no net access, though you were sure that configured as satellite for a smarthost it should have nothing to lookup as the smarthost in in /etc/hosts, you might just have forgotten to put a

     disable_ipv6 = true

in your exim4.conf. (I'm not sure, but that might also help to actually deliver mail to hosts which also have ipv6 addresses on servers with outgoing SMTP when you forgot to blacklist the ipv6 module).
