exim frozen messages, can't send/recieve
well, i don't know what happened, exim/mail/sendmail was working fine, now it's not working at all. The only thing i have done system wide lately is compile a new kernel, which shouldn't have any effect on any config files right? If i try to send mail it looks like it's sent fine but it doesnt' go anywhere. /var/log/exim states that "Message is frozen". #ps -aux | grep -i "exim" produces nothing, except the grep listing but now i can't remember if exim was listed as a running process when it was working. There is no /var/log/exim.pid, which seems suspicious, only a empty directory. if i 'nmap' my box it lists smtp on port 25 as listening which is normal but how come there is no process running(?), if i try to start exim, it complains that it can't 'socket bind() to port 25 for address, Address already in use'. I know I'm tired but I'm totally missing something. Thanks in advance. -mUs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
