Hi,

Last weekend, something weird happened to one of our servers.

We have normally a load of 0,20.

Server completed hangs. After APC reboot, system was normal for +- 10 minuten and load went to +- 4 (cpu% was only 2% so it had something to do with hard drive I/O) and then fatal crash.

Found the issue on exim. Shutting service exim down, server went back "normal".

Updated exim to 4.63. Still same problem.
Made chances to exim.conf for disabling spamassasin and problem was resolved.

Then updated / reinstalled spamassassin with the spam.sh script from DA, enabled it again in exim.conf and everyting was back normal.

Don't know why this has happened, but i think it is important to mention it here.

Franky

Note: Server running CentOS 4.3 32bit
