Package: exim4 Version: 4.63-17 Severity: important I am running an important exim4 server for dozens of users on Etch. However, lately, when I notice that I do not get any mail anymore it seems that the exim4 server has just exited/crashed, because it is no longer running. When using QUEUERUNNER='separate', the queuerunner stays alive, but after a while the stmp listener/daemon is dead.
After three days, I finally found something in the logs that might indicate the source of the problems: Nov 4 17:47:02 sphere exim[12843]: 2007-11-04 17:47:02 1IoicV-0003L9-DS failed to write to main log: length=205 result=142 errno=9 (Bad file descriptor) Nov 4 17:47:03 sphere exim[12843]: write failed on panic log: length=118 result=-1 errno=28 (No space left on device) Nov 4 17:47:05 sphere exim[12844]: 2007-11-04 17:47:05 1Ioicr-0003LA-HM failed to write to main log: length=183 result=-1 errno=28 (No space left on device) Nov 4 17:47:05 sphere exim[12844]: write failed on panic log: length=122 result=-1 errno=28 (No space left on device) [and so on...] IMHO, the daemon should stay alive and try to log this or my change its process name, appending [out of disk space] or something.
