Hi -
Sorry to be a bit off topic, but can anyone help me understand
what may be going on here?
The Symptoms: Exim-2.12 running on RedHat 5.2 on a Pent. II/450
with 500M ram. The imapd in use is Washington Uni vers 12.250.
Periodically, the system all but keels over with the following
messages in the messages log:
May 10 11:04:42 mail1 inetd[334]: imap/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
May 11 13:20:06 mail1 inetd[334]: imap/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
May 11 14:08:37 mail1 inetd[334]: imap/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
May 11 14:19:09 mail1 inetd[334]: imap/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
May 11 14:23:20 mail1 inetd[334]: imap/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
May 11 14:27:36 mail1 inetd[334]: imap/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
...resulting in imap connections being refused. The only way out
seems to be to either re-boot the box or (sometimes) send a HUP to
inetd.
Could there be some unhappiness between the imap and Exim (which
also becomes a bit jittery during these times, but it settles
down again).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
