http://serverfault.com – We've had a hard disk failure, and have a backup of emails. The MTA on the server was Exim. We need to setup the mails on another server to give the admin access to these emails on desktop client such as Thunderbird or Outlook. As far as I know, there's no way to directly import Exim mail files into these clients. So I think we'll need to setup Exim on the new server as well. The issue with this is that we cannot setup domains on this server. So how can we go about managing these emails from a desktop client without setting up domains on the new server? The directory structure of the emails: (HowTos)

I have a cPanel account whose emails I migrated from another server. The account can receive emails in SquirrelMail but cannot receive emails in Mail.app on OSX. I can test the account with Outlook's test button successfully, though I've not tried to download any emails. The chances are, a brand new account would work correctly.

Currently it appears that somehow someone is using my server to send spam as I'm seeing 100's of rejection emails from other email services (such as gmail) saying the message could not be delivered "return to sender" and sent to mydomain.com.

Upon investigation these email are coming via RELAY from a remote IP and not actually from the server itself (e.g.

I'm using Exim on a Cpanel server, my server is taking too long to process incoming emails after the "dot" (".").

I'm trying to troubleshoot but having a hard time figuring the order of the ACL's

Any clue of what happens after the dot?

In a vps I am limited by a certain number of sent emails per minute (they say it's a way to control spam!), I could use a relay server but I don't want!

Probably I will never reach the limit, but just in case, can I define a limit to exim and delay the emails a certain time if the limit is reached?

Large Exim database help. 15 weeks 2 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.
