Autor: Diógenes Neto Data: A: Exim-users Assumpte: [exim] Problem with Exim / Spamd
Hi all,
I am facing some strange problems with my exim+spamd setup:
a) an increasing /var/spool/exim/scan directory
b) an increasing /var/spool/exim/input directory
I call it strange because with no apparent reason I can get from 0 to 10GB
of /scan in less the 24hs and from 0 to 80GB in /input.
I am not sure if this is something with my exim / spamd setup itself but I
have another server with the same combo that does not behave like this.
I've tried to ask for cpanel for support but essentially they gave up :(
Someone suggested that it was a hardware problem or insufficient resources
but I am not too convinced about that. Anyway I've tested the memory and
the disks without any error message (or lockup etc).
The /input grows until I delete old messages (for example older than 5 days)
or eats all disk space. With /scan is the same thing altough in a much
slower pace.
