Not sure if it
is related, but my /var/spool/exim/scan and
/var/spool/exim/input directories have a lot of files in
them.
�
Input: 2223
files
Scan: 2223
files
�
I am sure it is
not a coincidence.� The queue is empty.� The files names
definitely seem to correspond between the two directories.�
All the files in inpur are �D files (I believe that means
body, -H is header).� Interestingly there are n o
corresponding �H header files in input.
�
I was notified
of this issue by a client who has not received any emails
from the below mentioned mx.sendinghost.com
[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].
�
They do get a
reject message on their end of:
�
Generating
server: mx.sendinghost.com
client@hisdomain.com
#< #4.4.2 X-Proprietary; lost connection with my.host.com
[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] while sending end of data -- message may
be sent more than once> #SMTP#
I did run a:
�
exim -bh
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
�
and it ends up
at an ACCEPT.

Guys,
1.������ I
have a lot of these type of messages in my mainlog:
�
H=(mx.sendinghost.com) [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Warning: ACL "warn" statement skipped: condition test
deferred: failed to expand ACL string "${lookup
dnsdb{a=$smtp_active_hostname}}": lookup of "a=my.host.com"
gave DEFER:
�
I am trying to look through the configs to
see if I can determine where and why I am getting these.
�
Are they a cause for any real concer?� What
causes them and can it be recified?
�
I am not running a multi-ip host, but do
host multiple virtual domains.
�
2.������ I
am not sure if it is related (I think not), but I also get
messages that correspond with the sending host that is in some
of the above messages but the emails do NOT seem to come
through to the users mailbox.� I (think I) do see the actual
emails in the /var/spool/exim/scan directory though.� The only
thing I find in the logs is this message:
�
1b4BZC-0005p9-Ek H= mx.sendinghost.com
[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Warning: spam-score-int: 1 (/). spamreject:
990.
�
Any help, ideas or thoughts would be
welcome.� I did a google search that did not seem to provide
an useful help.
�
Thx.

P.S. not yet updated to latest release of
