Hi Marc,

after digging around a little i finally found out was wrong on my system! The 
problem was the NMAP freak patch. When exim handles an incomming smtp 
connetcion it first does a ident lookup. I do not run ident. With the NMAP 
patch in place this connection had to time out first. After disabeling NMPA 
freak wolk runs GREAT. 

Thanks for your great work on WOLK

bye
