email stays in Mail Queue

Hello

Recently i,m setting up DA and all is running now but there's one problem
that all the email stays in the Mail Queue.

In Administrator Settings -> i have named the hostname example.com
i have example.com not as an account on the server.

i have also done by a ssh connection
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/hostname.sh example.example.com /etc/init.d/exim restart echo "action=tally&value=all" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

But still the mail is in the queue
In the DNS administration example.com has been added and all a records are included.

What did i wrong
Can someone give an example of an right host file. that is used by the exim ?

Best Regards

I'm not sure what you mean; please post the full path to the file you're looking for.

Its solved now because
In the exim/mainlog
there's one line that says
2007-03-28 08:49:47 1HWTql-0000LI-Ov failed to open /dev/null: Permission denied (euid=8 egid=8)

solution "chmod 777 /dev/null"

Better to make that chmod 666 buddy, should be fine.

chmod 0666 /dev/null

Oh yeah, or use devlinks to recreate it. Not sure what OS you are running however.
