Package: exim4 Version: 4.72-6 Severity: normal <terminal> # /etc/init.d/exim4 restart Stopping MTA for restart: exim4_listener. Restarting MTA: exim4. ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken ... failed! </terminal>
I read the "... failed!" as meaning that the non-zero paniclog has caused the restart to fail. However, netstat -nlp indicates that exim is running and listening on port 25, as expected. The "failed" message seems inappropriate in this setting. If it actually means something else is broken, it should indicate what. My paniclog does have stuff in it, and I have some mail that is currently undeliverable because my local cyrus is not running. This is on a virtual machine that had lenny installed and has been dist-upgraded to squeeze. I have fiddled a bit with the config files so I can get mail out of the box. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.72 #1 built 31-Jan-2011 18:42:28 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge, 1995 - 2007 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS move_frozen_messages DKIM Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch nis nis0 passwd Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 GnuTLS compile-time version: 2.8.6 GnuTLS runtime version: 2.8.6 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' # # Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes # to this file might happen.
