mail not working anymore since new releases from 7 nov.

We have the same problem. I hope it's solved soon by the developers of cPanel.

A simple way to overcome issues if they're related to the split spools is to simply go into WHM > Exim Configuration Editor > Advanced Mode > in the first texbox add a line:

split_spool_directory = no

Then save. If you still have problems and exim is missing files, then you should run:

/scripts/exim4 --latest

well, i dont have missing files at exim, mailscanner is just bugged

I am not running mailscanner. I suppose I will have to open a ticket.

I changed the user and domain, below, to protect the client.
From returned mail:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

We rebuilding the exim.conf and outbound file fixed it for me.

Question is how do we get the emails that are stuck in mailscanner??

[Lamar]

Well, I have my issue narrowed down to one email account. No other email accounts (not even on the same domain) are experiencing this issue. Weird.

I am having the same problem. I do have mailscanner and clam installed, but I did not install it and have no idea how to turn it off.... Or how to repair the file you are talking about above.

Disabling MailScanner is easy enough, I'll come to that in a minute. If you have the following directory:

/usr/mailscanner/etc

And when you do the following:

ps axf | grep MailScanner

You can a number of lines like this:

/usr/bin/perl -I/usr/mailscanner/lib /usr/mailscanner/bin/MailScanner /usr/mailscanner/etc/MailScanner.conf

Then you either have the old layer1 installation or my script, in which case you can most likely use my script that I mentioned earlier to fix MailScanner for you.

If not and you want a quick and dirty way to disable MailScanner:

cd /etc
mv exim_outgoing.conf exim_outgoing.confms
/scripts/buildeximconf
/scripts/restartsrv_exim

You also might want to check in WHM > Exim Configuration Editor > Advanced Mode > First textbox, if the following line is there, delete it and save:

queue_only_override = false

Do that, and MailScanner, whether it's running or not, will no longer be involved in processing email.

[SRPitera]

Thanks, that worked... Sucks though, I am already getting viruse e-mailed to me without mailscanner and clam.

If everything is in and working now, then using my procedure to install MailScanner should work for you as it caters for this change to Exim.
