Hi,

seems error is with your exim configuration:

Code: Select all

Jul 07 13:33:38 mypanel.site.com exim4[2834]: 2019-07-07 13:33:38 Exim configuration error in line 40 of /var/lib/exim....tmp:
Jul 07 13:33:38 mypanel.site.com exim4[2834]:   main option "acl_smtp_mime" unknown
Jul 07 13:33:38 mypanel.site.com exim4[2834]: Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing

Try to comment out ACL block: acl_smtp_mime

[tom256]

tried to comment that from VestaCP web panel, after saving the configuration editor, the server hanged out and rebooted!
It didn't work

[tom256]

If I want to "reinstall" Exim, How can I do this? I mean removing it, and then installing it again.

Please give me the re-installation commands for Ubuntu 16.04 and then if I need some configurations that Exim4 can work properly with VestaCP again like before, please give me those configuration/ububtu commands too.
Thanks anyone who will help!

You should just remove remove exim with apt tool and then install back it.

Default exim configuration you can find here: https://github.com/serghey-rodin/vesta/ ... 16.04/exim

[tom256]

Code: Select all

apt-get install exim4-daemon-heavy

That's whatworked for me.
