[NetX]

I cannot send out mails from my server, I have tried stop/restart/reinstall exim.
stop/restart/update/restart cpanel but nothinh works.

All domains can receive mails but suddenly they cannot send out mails.

I tries too changing exim port to 26, but the problem is not fixed.

I'm receiving athis message:

/etc/init.d/exim: pipe error: Too many open files in system


Do you have any ide about the solution for this problem?

Thanks for your help.

You need to consult the documentation of your OS to understand how to increase these limits. I would suggest you also run a search on google as well. As you haven't provided your OS in your post, there's very little I can do to help further at this point.

Probably a hardware error ,
pipe error , defect memory , processor or
mathematics unit (MPU) occuring
algorythmic saving problems in the hash-table
of the system memory :p .

This is most likely a file descriptor issue. do you have teh fork bomb protection turned on?

 

[Kerstin]

The numbers of the open files can be setted in the boot files of the OS.
linux -> init.d

Othervise to many open files occuring a stack overflow error in the
system memory :p

Apparently it only a explorer error (borwser cacher settings) or
a port error caused by the port setup in your explorer.

Kerstin,

Please stay on topic and provide an answer if you are trying to help. If are not positive of the answer, or you do not know the answer or cannot help, then posting something irrelevant is not helping anyone.
