Hi,

We could solve it, but how could this happen??

Yesterday we runned about 10 updates in custombuild and the latest yum updates (centos). This morning 2 clients reported that they could not send any mail. Testing it in roundcube, the error was: SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed.
In the logs we could find NOTHING :sick:

So we tried several things including: updating exim.conf in roundcube. That worked!!! 🤩
But how could this happen and how can we prevent this for the future??

Thanks in advance,
flexjoly

Maybe exim service was down? And "exim_conf" just restarted the service at the end :)
 
Hi smtalk,

We did check the service monitor, everything looked normal.
To be sure we restarted exim. We even rebooted the server. But that did not help.
Updating exim-conf did.

Well if no one else had this, then... we just hope it won't happen again ;-)

Greetz, flexjoly
 
I have the same issue now after doing regular updates with custombuild. On one server I was able to fix using the exim build. Second server so far no luck, that one is also giving me imap failed.
 
Get same problem, being overwhelming to fix this problem.... try some method including "Config Server Security & Firewall" still not work
Here the code just resolved the issue

Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set exim yes
./build set eximconf yes
./build update
./build exim
./build exim_conf

thanks, for this post.
