Hello
I have a big worry. With some accounts I receive 400 times the same mail.
For example I received an account on Paypal and it happened 283 times, then 8 pages of 20 messages in the tail of DirectAdmin.
How come there? How to fix the problem?
Thank you
 
Please help me i have this problem now. For a client with paypal : 7 pages mails queue with this account (mail)
 
I had a simular problem and it was caused by a known issue in Exim. I upgraded to the latest version and it solve my issue.

Is your exim version outdated ?
 
If I recall correctly:
Code:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/exim.sh

Tried to do the same thing because I also have users getting the same mail over and over again, ran this:

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/exim.sh

and got a whole bunch of errors:

I do not understand any of this, since I am really new to this, can someone explain why these errors appear? server runs fine as far as I can tell, just the email problem where the same mail gets delivered over and over again.

any help would be great.
 
The warnings aren't errors; they appear because the script is designed to work no matter what you've got installed when you start. I don't run Debian, but it appears to have set it up properly.

Hopefully someone who's used it on a Debian server will respond and affirm.

Jeff
