Subject: [exim] Can't connect to 127.0.0.1 port 10025
Hello

I have an urgent problem. I am using exim on our spamserver to receive
emails, handling them to spamassassin and amavis and send it to our
"main" mailserver. This night the amavis logfile was getting to large an
therefore messages were not delivered anymore. Now I have a queue with
more than 12000 mails in it. When I try to empty it now (running "exim
-qff -v") I get the following errormessages:

SMTP<< 450 4.4.1 Can't connect to 127.0.0.1 port 10025, Connection
refused at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 2862, <GEN4> line 7490., id=15256-10

I did not change anything in the exim.conf file which has the following
line:

local_interfaces = 0.0.0.0.25 : 127.0.0.1.10025

This worked fine until yesterday. Does anybody has some ideas ?

Thank's in advance for any help
