Hello,

chmod 0777 /tmp

?

 

[ssgill]

Thanks for the reply, but mail was working before and i didn't changed any permissions on the temp. By the way permissions on tmp are as follow

drwxrwxrwt. 5 root root 4096 Jun 26 10:05 tmp

So is your issue solved? If not check how much free space do you have there:

df -h

Space is not an issue.

grep tmp /etc/exim.conf

?

Alex thanks for time.

grep tmp /etc/exim.conf

current_directory = "/tmp"
home_directory = "/tmp"

 

[zEitEr]

I was asking for /tmp as there is no slash

tmp/1340727109.H44617P1194.server.server.com

in your post.

OK, let's see how it's mounted then:

cat /proc/mounts

and

mount

Hello Alex, just received all the blocked mail. Only thing that i changed was deleted one reseller account that i had created to test moving mail from another server. My old mail server is running Courier and i had used the script found at Dovecot site. I guess it didn't liked what i had done. But that shouldn't effect system wide mail, that's what i need to investigate.
Thanks
