Help - Exim

[Guy Shanny]

Hello,
I have a problem with the exim process...
When the exim is running the server's load is going high...
I have checked the Mail Queue Administration and there I have seen a lot of process from one user (At that moment I baned him).

Now, the exim is still making problems...(I tried to install MailScanner, spamAss and it didn't help).

Also, I have limited the user's send e-mail per a day (/etc/virtual/limit) to 100.

What I need to do? Thanks.

Have you deleted all emails from this user from the queue?

Hello,
The solution is:
Delete all of the mails remain in the queue.

Close the exim (killall -9 exim and make him not to run and be run).
Then:
cd /var/spool
mv exim exim.old
mkdir -p exim/input
mkdir -p exim/msglog
mkdir -p exim/db
chown -R mail:mail exim
service exim start
service exim restart

Compile again the exim.
Change the username of the user whom made the problem.

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/change_username.sh oldname newname

Have a nice day.
