ConfigServer Community Forum

Just went into Exim Config Editor (cPanel 11.18.3-R21703). I noticed it did an update that couldn't continue because of custom ACL's. So I did what it told me to do (attached file) and now no e-mails are coming through. Any help\insight would be appreciated.

Since the exim.conf file is too large I uploaded it here:http://advanitech.com/currentexim.conf

Thanks.

What errors are you getting in the exim log?

tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog

Hey Sarah!
Well, this one stands out (repeatedly):

2008-03-18 14:33:22 failed to open /etc/exim_deny when checking "/etc/exim_deny": No such file or directory

I checked, and it's not there. Is there another location (from your MailScanner Service Package) where those files exist?

Wait a sec. I know I need to take that out. (Legacy Exim Dictionary Attack) It must have put itself back in when I pulled from backups.

I will try again and post if exim_mainlog tells me something else.

Thanks!

OK.

Now the log is showing me this:


2008-03-18 14:54:05 cwd=/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/15244/1JbhsY-00076j-34 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1JbhsY-00076j-34
2008-03-18 14:54:05 1JbhsY-00076j-34 Spool file 1JbhsY-00076j-34-D not found

OK in my exim.conf,

1. I disabled MailScanner
2. I un-remarked the following:

   Code: Select all

   #SPOOL = /var/spool/exim
   #spool_directory = SPOOL

3. AND remarked the following:

   Code: Select all

   spool_directory = /var/spool/exim_incoming
   queue_only = true

Essentially bypassing MailScanner and Exim seems to work OK now. BUT that means I can't use MailScanner which I've been using for years without problems.

What changed? What is wrong?

We've seen this missing spool file error occasionally. Running the following script (with MailScanner enabled) usually fixes it:

/usr/mscpanel/msswitch.pl inout

Be sure to enable Mailscanner first and un-do those exim configuration edits you made regarding the spool directory.

You, young lady, are AWESOME. (OK and Chirpy too.) Worked like a champ.

Thank you, Sarah!
