Betreff: [Exim] Upgraded OS, Exim behaving strangely...
Hello all,

I originally installed FreeBSD 5.1 from the mini iso,then upgraded to
RELENG_5_2 last
weekend. The upgrade went without problems, as it always has...and i did
not change
anything in Exim's configuration, but now (only since the upgrade):

Exim no longer starts on system startup. In /etc/rc.conf, I have:

sendmail_enable="NONE"
exim_enable="YES"

And the lines in /etc/mail/mailer.conf are changed from sendmail to exim
binary paths.

I have not received any mail since the upgrade, either. I looked through
all of exim's
logs and found "failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/retry:
Inappropriate file type
or format", then "spool directory space check failed: space=0 inodes=0"
several times.

So, I looked around the spool dir to see what was happening, and found that
my mail
is now being delivered to /var/spool/clientmqueue, and not getting any
further. The
message names in /var/spool/clientmqueue are differently-constructed than
those in my
exim spools, ie:

ls /var/spool/clientmqueue shows messages in form:  qfi2FB8SYT048073
ls /var/spool/exim/msglog shows messages in form:    1B11Vc-0000cm-S4


So, I'm wondering,

a) Why doesn't Exim start at boot time anymore, and where should I look to
fix it?
b) how do I get my messages into the appropriate spool / delivered?

Thanks in advance, please cc me as I am not subscribed.
