Exim, Queing good emails, but not delivering

**bmcpanel** · 10-05-2005 04:22 PM

I have a strange issue that I just noticed today.

I have a user who is using a mail/merge program on their PC to send out emails to their chamber of commerce (legitimate customer for over 3 years). When he sends this mail merge program, located on his PC, it delivers the first 10 emails but Exim queues the remainder. I checked /var/log/exim_mainlog and saw this message on several of his emails...

1END0I-0002P1-PM no immediate delivery: more than 10 messages received in one connection

Thus, Exim is sending the first 10 but queueing the remaining emails. The PROBLEM is that, though I have Exim set to run the queue every 30 minutes, it does not deliver the remaining emails. They just sit and sit and sit and never get delivered.

IF I click into the WHM Mail Queue, and click DELIVER NOW for all of the queue, these messages are also NOT delivered.

IF I click on the individual message, and click DELIVER NOW, it will deliver the individual message.

Has anyone seen this before? What is causing the exim error message "no immediate delivery: more than 10 messages received in one connection"?

Thanks.

This is an example of one of the messages that gets put in the queue and left there. NOTE: I've edited the domain names and IP addresses in this post for security reasons.

Do you have any entries in your first box in the advanced exim configuration editor that could be interferring?

**maverick23** · 10-06-2005 06:47 AM

try using given below command through ssh(as root)

exim -bpru |awk '{print $3}' | xargs -n 1 -P 40 exim -v -M

This will force the queue and will run multiple instances along

This is what I have in the first box.

log_selector = +all

av_scanner = clamd:/var/clamd

domainlist rbl_blacklist = lsearch;/etc/rblblacklist
domainlist rbl_bypass = lsearch;/etc/rblbypass
hostlist rbl_whitelist = lsearch;/etc/relayhosts : partial-lsearch;/etc/rblwhitelist

Thanks. This seems to have emptied the queue just fine of legitimate email. Too bad the WHM interface does not handle this problem correctly and one must resort to a command line command to do a simple task.

When searching this forum, i saw this topic. It describes exactly the same problem i have.

Code:

s01# grep 1GiEWl-00052w-6V /var/log/exim/mainlog

Can anyone give me a clue?

The first line of my exim.conf is just:
log_selector = +all

I've been seeing the exact same thing for the past week or so. Narrowed the problem down to having SpamAssassin enabled on a domain with a large discussion list. Once I disabled SA, it seemed to get the mail moving through properly again. Don't know if that'll help you out or not, but I thought I'd offer it.

I get a whole string of error messages... is this normal? (whole process takes just a few seconds)

Here is what I got when run from the command line:
