I have been following a process for setting up my e-mail server, link below:
http://t-machine.org/index.php/2014/06/27/webmail-on-your-debian-server-exim4-dovecot-roundcube/ After doing all the steps I finally got to restart everything with the following commands 1 /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 2 /etc/init.d/exim4 restart 3 /etc/init.d/dovecot restart apache2 and dovecot restarted as expected but exim4 failed with this message: Myuser@myserver:/home/frosty# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [ ok ] Restarting apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.service. Myuser@myserver:/home/frosty# /etc/init.d/exim4 restart [....] Restarting exim4 (via systemctl): exim4.serviceJob for exim4.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status exim4.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. failed!

Any suggestions for what to do with exim4 to get it restarted. I do not know what the error messeges here are referencing. Im very inexperienced with setting up email. -- John Foster
