Senne,

Since when did you have this high usage?

allready solved, system wanted to try and send a message to root user, but couldnt be delivered, system sent it every hour or so..

Solved the error trhat was in the root message and deleted the qeue, now it stays 0

Senne, how did you solve this? I have the same issue.

Senne, how did you solve this? I have the same issue.

Delete queue:

Code: Select all

exim -bp | exiqgrep -i | xargs exim -Mrm

Solved the issue. In my case it was an error message the system was trying to send me and the email address was wrong (my mistake). So, because the error kept existing (was about ioncube, not a huge problem), the system kept and kept trying to send me increasing the exim queue.

You can clear the queue, see here https://www.linux-tips.org/article/5/exim-clear-queue , but it will come back if you dont solve the problme because of which the system tries to send you the messages. To see what's the problem, check here https://www.linux-tips.org/article/9/vi ... mail-queue on how to open the error messages in the queue. Hope it helps you too...
