I was reviewing exim_mainlog and found the following errors
Code:
malware acl condition: unable to connect to sophie UNIX socket (/var/run/sophie).
Which is VERY strange as I don't use it but rather clam av. I restarted exim and nothing... I noticed that it started yesterday about the time that daily upcp runs.

So I went and looked at the exim configuration (from WHM)nothing seemed amiss
Code:
!!# These options specify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) that
#!!# are used for incoming SMTP messages - after the RCPT and DATA
#!!# commands, respectively.

av_scanner = clamd:/var/clamd
I then resaved and then saw
Code:
malware acl condition: clamd: unable to connect to UNIX socket /var/clamd (No such file or directory)
CLOSER
Finally I restarted exim manually.
Code:
/etc/init.d/exim restart
And things seems to work fine

Did something change in the past couple days that would affect exim? I'm running WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.11.0-S16999

I got this sophie error too on 2 servers since 4.50am last night. A manual restart didn't fix it, but I restored default exim config and it worked again. I put back my custom acls and it's been fine since. I also got the clamd: unable to connect to UNIX socket /var/clamd but I think that was because the service exim start had yet to start clamd.
