I am currently using the script below daily to clear entries from the Exim
Db's...
I suspect however that I am missing something as I've had a couple
occasions over time where I got into loops with addresses being unable to
be delivered in what appeared to be a db issue.
Each time this has occurred, its been at a very bad time and my only
solution was to remove the db's and restart the exim daemons rather than
pinpoint the actual problem.
Basically the script does
exim_tidydb SPOOLFILE retry
exim_tidydb SPOOLFILE wait-remote_smtp
Should I be doing more? What are others doing?
#!/usr/bin/ksh
SPOOL=/var/spool/exim
LOG=/var/spool/exim/log/tidydb.log
echo "`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'` starting eximclean to clean DBs" >> $LOG
/usr/local/exim/bin/exim_tidydb $SPOOL retry >> $LOG
/usr/local/exim/bin/exim_tidydb $SPOOL wait-remote_smtp >> $LOG
echo "`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'` finished cron job exim">> $LOG
Other than this occasional glitch, everything appears to be running fine.
Now that I have a couple seconds to look at things, I want to see what I
can come up with.
Thanks...
