Hello everyone,
On some hosts I get multiple Exim process handling the same
email:
dr1 (83.149.101.180) /home % ps auxw | grep "exim -Mc"
root 27149 0.0 0.0 8288 2564 ? S 12:14 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
mail 27150 0.0 0.0 8292 1104 ? S 12:14 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
mail 27152 0.0 0.0 8292 804 ? S 12:14 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
root 27160 0.0 0.0 3940 740 pts/2 S+ 12:14 0:00 grep exim -Mc
This mail is not there in queue anymore:
dr1 (83.149.101.180) /home % exim -bp 1JPFZK-00073i-6F
1JPFZK-00073i-6F
*** spool read error: No such file or directory ***
Anybody knows what's up with those overhead handlers? And how
to fix this?
Those instances quickly expire now - it's been related to the problem I reported
earlier in "Exim child processes segfault" thread, but I semi-fixed it by changing
Exim compilation flags - but still, it isn't pretty and more importantly, it can potentially
cause some bigger problem.
