Hi,

I have a dedicated server with cpanel and all was fine till today morning. I suddenly started getting complaints from clients that thy are able to send / receive emails.

Upon checking I found this correct, server is accepting emails from both senders / receivers and its not giving them any error either but it is freezing all the email messages.

When I force run the queue I get this:

Code:

What is the issue ? How do I fix it ? I tried resetting the exim configuration etc. but to no avail.

Please help me fix it.

Thanks.

You can rebuild the exim configure with /scripts/buildeximconf

You should also open a ticket using the link in my signature so our techs can determine how your exim.pl.local file became corrupted in order to prevent it from happening again.

When I use the:

/scripts/buildeximconf

Script it tells me exim.pl not found, how do I fix this? Thanks.

I have fixed the problem copying a exim.pl from another server I have and the good news it had the same version of WHM, now, the question is how do I protect myself from this not happening again? Thanks.

Backup your exim.conf and run the following.

/scripts/eximup --force
Cheers!!!

- - - Updated - - -

Normally this happens if someone has added a chattr flag to any of the exim configuration files, as this will cause exim updates to fail in middle of the update.

Cheers!!!
