hi all,
i am not able to restatr exim. I recive the following error via shell:
--------
Shutting down exim: [ OK ]
Shutting down antirelayd: [ OK ]
Shutting down spamd: [FAILED]
Starting exim: 2004-04-01 10:37:04 Exim configuration error in line 63:

[FAILED]

-------

I WHM i recive error:
-------
Mar 29 16:47:42 servername exim: exim shutdown succeeded Mar 29 16:47:42 servername exim: antirelayd shutdown failed Mar 29 16:47:42 servername exim: spamd shutdown failed Mar 29 16:49:18 servername exim: exim startup succeeded Mar 29 16:49:18 servername exim: exim startup succeeded Mar 29 16:49:19 servername exim: antirelayd startup succeeded Can't connect at /scripts/restartsrv line 242, line 44704.

Anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks a lot

if i go to the error line i can see:
--------
smtp_banner = "${primary_hostname} ESMTP Exim ${version_number} \
\#${compile_number} ${tod_full} \n\
We do not authorize the use of this
-------

not sure what's wrong. Never changed anything!

just check another server and it seems it should the following way:

-------------
smtp_banner = "${primary_hostname} ESMTP Exim ${version_number} \
\#${compile_number} ${tod_full} \n\
We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, \n\
and/or bulk e-mail."

-------------
but now error is:
-------------
Shutting down exim: [FAILED]
Shutting down antirelayd: [ OK ]
Shutting down spamd: [FAILED]
Starting exim: 2004-04-01 13:33:49 Exim configuration error in line 69:

----------


does anyone have an idea how to fix?

/scripts/exim4 try reinstalling

ok thanks "datums"

if found the error... there where a duplicated entry of the following:

------
We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, \n\
and/or bulk e-mail."
------


Thanks

Restalling protocol is never the appropriate answer. In this case, it's highly doubtful it would have helped. That's as bad as "My IE won't start properly" "well, reload windows".
