Exim showing down in Service Status

[mctDarren]

But exim is alive and kicking on the box. Tried upcp, eximup --force, restarting multiple times - still says down yet the email flows like spammy wine. Anyone else see this in new CP11?

This happening for a long time? Chkservd only runs every 8 minutes so results could be not up to date. If it's showing as down for a long period of time while up, please submit a ticket.

Thanks

Hrm, reboot cleared it up. No idea what was up... Oh well, will keep an eye on this box and repost if happens again.

Did you try to restart chkservd when you see exim is down in WHM but actually is running?

 

[mctDarren]

Yep, first thing I tried. Showed restarted fine, but still showed down. Waited a bit and still showed down. Waited an hour still showed down but all was working fine. Little bit later I restarted just to see and showed working then. Still no idea but haven't seen the problem since... Weird!

Same problem with my server exim is running and working but in service status is shown as fail and keeps sendind mails about the service down.

Someone could help with this, i also have ASSP.
Running .. WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.6.0-R15076
CENTOS Enterprise 5 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0


Thx :D

You need to check your /var/log/chkservd.log and see if it shows why the check is failing. chkservd attempts a connection to port 25 and looks for the 220 response code. You can try this yourself:

telnet localhost 25

It should reply with something like:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220-homer.webumake.net ESMTP Exim 4.66 #1 Mon, 16 Jul 2007 10:21:13 +0100
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.

If it doesn't, then that's a problem. If it does, try disabling ASSP (which interferes with the SMTP connections into your SMTP server) and see if the issue improves.

Thx, Chirpy i will check and post any feedback, but one thing I already did was stopping ASSP but still exim send fail alert.

Thx again!

Hi,

Chirpy as u recommend i try this:
telnet localhost 25
And i got this:
[[email protected] ~]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220-fusion.reactorhosting.info ESMTP Exim 4.66 #1 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:19:29 -0500
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.
So exim is working properly.

Anyone has a clue on this matter.

Thx for all the help.
