Error prevents sending by Exim (Broken pipe) Topic is solved

[raapcoelho]

Hello,

I use VestaCP daily on several servers for a little over a year, but this week I started to face this error:

Code: Select all

I have no idea what this error may be, I did nothing different on the servers. Can someone help me?

O.S.: CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)
Exim: exim-4.93-2.el7.x86_64

Thank you.

I'm having the right same problem on various servers

[pcready.cl]

seems to be a blocking or timeout problem

[raapcoelho]

I formatted the server, installed Exim without VestaCP, it works normal, so I believe I can rule out that it is a problem in OpenVZ...
I still have no solution.

[raapcoelho]

I dowgrade exim to: exim-4.92.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

And apparently it worked for me!

How do this?

How do this?

Download this file and send it to the server:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/ ... 4.rpm.html

Run the commands:

yum remove exim -y
yum localinstall exim-4.92.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm -y
rm -Rf /etc/exim/exim.conf
mv /etc/exim/exim.conf.rpmsave /etc/exim/exim.conf
rm -Rf /etc/logrotate.d/exim
mv /etc/logrotate.d/exim.rpmsave /etc/logrotate.d/exim

It worked perfect!

You can paste your exim.conf please!

[vpsops]

Yes, i confirm that downgrading exim fixed the problem.

Please keep in mind to disable yum auto updates for exim otherwise it will be updated bringing back the bug once again.

[raapcoelho]

You can paste your exim.conf please!

I didn't make any modifications to exim, just restarted it and created an email box.

Here is the configuration I use:
