I have my server set to stable updates. I woke up last week to see cPanel 11 had replaced the cPanel 10 version. As soon as that day, the server starting getting very slow and timing out. I decided that maybe it was just an overload and had the hosting company that I lease from double the RAM in the box. I also ordered extra support in case something like this happened again.
The server was so slow that all of the websites and email were timing out. I changed port numbers thinking it may be a brute force attack but that didn't help. Finally, I starting stopping services to see what the problem was. When I stopped Exim the server got fast again. After running a few checks with Exim stopped and started, I discovered that's where the problem was coming from.
I got into the Exim Configuration Wizard and checked the box to use the old style "spamassassin" way of dealing with emails - even though it said it was "slow". After that, my websites almost immediately returned online and were good for about a day.
After the first day of running good, the server began getting slow again and timing out, but it only occurs for about 10-15 minutes at a time and then goes back to normal for an hour or so. I had no problem with cPanel 10 and now I have phone calls and emails from customers non-stop about issues with the server. I've lost a lot of time and money on this "stable" update and would like to know if anybody has a solution.
Is there anything that I can do to make the Exim/Email of cPanel 11 work like cPanel 10? If not, can I downgrade back to 10? Am I the only person having this problem?
