Hi,

In var/spool/exim/scan I see a lot of files, like /1emngh-0001Vp-Do

They are quit large. For now I removed them manually. I thought after scanning the should be automatic removed, or am I wrong?

Hello,

Check exim queue in directadmin and/or exim logs for more details.
 
Hi,

Thank you for your answer. The problem is that with new skin and latest da binaries that function is not working.
I reported this also on this forum as to DA support:
A new error appeared, selecting Mail Queue Administration
I get this error: Error Captured inside data() on “”
 
The problem isn´t solved yet.

Mail Queue administration is empty.

In exim I see these logs (related to those who stuck in var/spool/exim/scan
Code:
2018-03-14 12:32:55 1ew4eD-0005WG-4n malware acl condition: clamd [127.0.0.1]:3310 : unable to read from socket (Connection timed out)

The var/spool/exim/scan is filling quickly with files.

the folder looks like this
Code:
[root@server]# find /var/spool/exim/scan -mtime -1

I already tried to install/update Clamav (after kill Clamav & Freshclam first), rebuild exim, exim.conf.)

Any ideas?
 
Hi zEitEr,

randomly, today I had some new files. Sometimes it fills with more then 3 GB in a few hours. Some days nothing. I don´t understand it.
 
OK, I've seen the same on several servers already. Haven't debugged it yet. If anybody have some clues, please share.
 
I also asked DirectAdmin support, but so far not found a reason/solution. I downgraded Clamav to see if same happens. Somehow, but don´t get me wrong I am happy that there are simulair cases, because began to doubt myself if I had done something wrong.

If I know more, off course I wil share here.
 
Okay, downgrading to 0.99.2 and 0.99.3 does not solve the problem. Same logs in var/spool/exim/scan.
 
Update:
As far I can see the mails which are stucked in var/spool/exim/scan are mails with attached documents. The problem is that those mail clients not receive. I get now several complaints.

#ZeitEr do you see also that stucked emails in var/spool/exim/scan all are with attachments (in my case with normal documents) and that those emails are not delivered.
 
No, I don't see the error now... at least warnings are now disabled by Directadmin in a stable release.
