Auteur: Andrew Radamis Date: À: exim-users Sujet: [exim] Bad file descriptor
I'm not sure what I did, but I broke my exim install. It was working
fine, till suddenly it wasn't. I was having a problem where it
couldn't setuid and gid, but that was because the binary lost it's
setuid bit, again, I have no idea how/why.
My current problem is when mail is received, it is not delivered
unless explicitly do exim -M <message-id>. If I don't it just sits in
the queue, not-frozen. This occurs only for local deliveries, relayed
mail goes right through. There are no errors in the
/var/log/exim/main.log, /var/log/exim/panic.log, but there is the
below error in /var/log/maillog, a log file I've just noticed
existed..

The error occurs on startup, and maybe periodically while exim is
running, but I'm not sure about that.
As much as I enjoy having to coax messages through, a solution to this
would be helpful.
I'm using CentOS with the exim from the base repository, version 4.43-1.RHEL4.5.
