I installed directadmin and everything is working except mail. I can send mail, but I cannot receive it. Can anyone tell me things to check to see what is wrong?
 
Code:

2006-03-12 13:25:57 1FIVGP-0001T3-2p Frozen

what does that mean?
 
try doing this command in your ssh

# exim -bpr | grep frozen | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm
 
that command deleted a bunch of messages, but I still cant reveice anything.

It means you've got a misconfiguration error; exim isn't able to spawn a copy of itself with the rights it needs to write to the mailbox.

What OS/Distribution do you use? Are you sure you've got the proper license?

Did you run the Dovecot conversion script?

Did you make any other changes to rights/ownerships, after installing DA?

Which is exactly what it was supposed to do.

It's the commend for emptying all frozen (undeliverable) messages in the mailqueue, and I'm not sure why it was recommended to you. It deleted the undeliverable messages, but it didn't do anything else.

Deleting all frozen messages in the mailqueue does nothing to solve the problem.

Im on a debian sarge system. I did a clean install and ran the direct admin install script. i didnt change anything after that.
 
Hello,

Sounds to me like /usr/sbin/exim does have the sticky suid bit set.

Paste us what you get from:
Code: 
ls -la /usr/sbin/exim
Then type
Code: 
chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/exim
