Server Mail Problem
| Posted by Outlaw Web Master, 06-14-2007, 10:12 AM |
| I can log into the server and send emails to other offline server email addresses but when I try to send emails to other email accounts on the server they get queued but don't get delivered.
Here's what it says when I try to deliver from the email queue....
Message 1HypxJ-0003ZF-Ul is no longer frozen
delivering 1HypxJ-0003ZF-Ul
LOG: MAIN PANIC
failed to read delivery status for davy@outlawweb.co.uk from delivery subprocess
LOG: MAIN PANIC
appendfile transport process returned non-zero status 0x000b: terminated by signal 11
LOG: MAIN
== davy@outlawweb.co.uk R=virtual_user T=virtual_userdelivery defer (-1)
LOG: MAIN
Frozen
Any ideas what's causing it and how to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance

| run this command, exim_tidydb -t 1s /var/spool/exim retry
and also make sure the domain exists in the file /etc/localdomians

| What kinda mail storage format do you have on your server? If you are still using the mbox format, you are advised to convert it to maildir. You should convert to maildir if you are using the latest version of cPanel since it does not support mbox format anymore. You can run the following command to convert to maildir format.
/scripts/convert2maildir

| I had the same problem so turned back to the previous version of cpanel and everything is working fine for now.
Anyway probably I am gone upgrade to maildir but:
- What are the side-effects?
- I know it is taking too many times upto 3 hours or so on some systems, what if I lost my SSH connection?
- Any operation is needed before running the script or any option to choose while running the script?
Thank you,

| Nice to hear that
Leo,
No side effects as far as I know. You can run the script with nohup so that it will keep running even if you are logged out from the ssh session.
eg:- nohup /scripts/convert2maildir&

| Thank you TechBrein,
Is it like:
root@hostname [~]# nohup /scripts/convert2maildir&
