Disable sending and receive emails

[Lillike]

Hi,

I can not send or receive emails.

I receive the following message to send any:
ERROR
Message not sent.
Connection refused
Server replied: 111 Can't open SMTP stream.

- or -


SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed.



From root:


[email protected] [/]# service exim restart

[email protected] [/]# mv eximdisable eximdisable.bak

Please, advice.

Hi @Lillike

Have you made modifications to Exim's configuration? It looks like exim is failing to start due to the following:

Starting exim: 2018-05-29 06:11:33 Cannot open main log file "/var/log/exim_log": No such file or directory: euid=0 egid=0

Which doesn't exist by default in default cPanel installations. The exim log should be /var/log/exim_mainlog


Thanks!

Hi Lauren,

First of all i have a problem with smtp relay usage.

I have not got any campaign etc. and the smtp relay usage was full from May 21 to 25. I do not know why.
So on 25th the unlimited emails disabled and limited 250 per a day and 50 hourly. No other modification.
From 26th the limitation is down now al services are as default.

Hi @Lillike


Can you reinstall exim using the following steps:

rpm -e --nodeps exim

/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

and let me know if you're able to get exim started again?

Thanks!

 

[Lillike]

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for your answer.


I tried to reinstall and here is the infos:

[email protected] [~]# rmp -e --nodeps exim
-bash: rmp: command not found
[email protected] [~]# /scripts/check_cpanel_rmps --fix
-bash: /scripts/check_cpanel_rmps: No such file or directory

Please, advice.

 

[cPanelLauren]

Hi @Lillike


That's my fault, I mistyped, I apologize. The script is:

/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

 

[Lillike]

[email protected] [/]# /script/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
-bash: /script/check_cpanel_rpms: No such file or directory

 

[cPanelLauren]

Hi @Lillike

It looks like you're running /script/check_cpanel_rpms --fix but it should be /scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

This is my fault, I should have been more careful when I typed it originally.

 

[Lillike]

Lauren,

It's my fault. So, now:
