Exim says it fails after Exim Configuration changes (but it really doesn't)

http://forums.cpanel.net – This may be a false positive.. I noticed since upgrade to 11.32, that each time I make any Exim Configuration Chagnes and save the changes, I see this message: Your configuration changes have been saved! Exim MTA... Waiting for exim to restart.....finished. exim ([exim] ) running as mailnull with PID 12540 (process table check method) exim has failed, please contact the sysadmin. ...Done Each time I check though, Exim is still running just fine. I do a restart (/scripts/restartsrv_exim) just to be sure however. Happening on all of our 11.32 boxes right now. (HowTos)

Exim Database Corruption 23 weeks 3 days ago

Any idea on how to prevent exim's database from corrupting? Have been getting this error and want to prevent further recurrences.

Exim : retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period « LinuxStuffs.com

Exim version: 4.80 #2 built 25-Oct-2012 13:57:39

Exim has been updated to fix a remote code execution flaw. Here is the announcement: https://lists.exim.org/lurker/messag...b9147b.en.html

No details on whether it's being actively exploited.

I would recommend disabling dkim in the exim configuration editor until 4.82 is pushed to your servers. RCE is nothing to mess around with.

I have DKIM configured in Exim for outgoing mail, as per the documentation. Exim signs all outgoing mail. But some of that outgoing mail is forwarded, thanks to a users .forward file. This is a problem for me, because some of those messages are spam (my exim configuration does not do any verification) and I don't want to take responsibility for them.

I know it is possible to use RBLs and wordlist filtering with Exim but can't seem to find any examples. The closest thing I've found so far is http://www.sput.nl/software/exim.html which is more massive then I would hope for.

Large Exim database help. 14 weeks 5 days ago

I've been away for a short time and returned to my server to find quite a large Exim database. My server isn't configured for email (no MX records etc.) so I'm wondering why the database is so large and growing.

I've attached a screenshot of some Exim related stats that I'm hoping might help somebody to shed light on what's happening for me.

hello there,

i'm using Exim as MTA, my question is that

can i limit outgoing mails to specific mx ?? or can i write exim scripts to help me in this issue ?? & is there any tutorial, article or ebook that i can start with to help me in this issue ??

thanks for everyone..

::1 during exim-config? 35 weeks 3 days ago

While executing

sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

there is this screen (IP adresses on which exim shall listen):

What does the ::1 mean? Is it an exim specific thing or - as I assume - some genereal linxu thing?
