Hi all, I have a odd problem right here on one of my servers. You must know that this server never had problems, but suddenly I got a bogus of these messages in paniclog:
1GDgZZ-000Ojz-Eq remote delivery process count got out of step 1GDgZZ-000Ojz-Eq remote delivery process count got out of step 1GDgZZ-000Ojz-Eq remote delivery process count got out of step 1GDgZZ-000Ojz-Eq remote delivery process count got out of step 1GDgZZ-000Ojz-Eq remote delivery process count got out of step 1GDgZZ-000Ojz-Eq remote delivery process count got out of step 1GDgZZ-000Ojz-Eq remote delivery process count got out of step etc... What happens you should ask? Well, my paniclog is flooding like hell, and my diskspace is 100% within 10 minutes. When I restart exim, everything is working fine again... But the funny thing is, this never happened before and suddenly I have this problem. Alright, well, what is my OS... it's FreeBSD 6.0. I have more than 20 servers with the same configuration and and exim version 4.63 who does not have these problems, only one machine... So what I have done at the moment (because the machine is flipping like a madddog) is writing a script like this (that is checking with cron every minute): #!/bin/sh failed=`cat /var/log/exim/paniclog | grep "remote delivery process count got out of step" | tail -10 | wc -l` if [ $failed -gt 0 ]; then /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim restart /bin/rm -fr /var/log/exim/mainlog /bin/rm -fr /var/log/exim/paniclog fi Witch prevents me from checking the machine all the time... (and filling up the space to 100%) but this is not a clean solution at all. It hapens at random, no time given. Sometimes withing 6 hours, sometimes withing 12 hours, and sometimes within 10 minutes. So could this be a bug, and if so, is there a workarround? Thanks for reading.
