I'm not sure what happened but my email stopped working. I can't send or receive. I can receive briefly when I restart exim and then I can't after a minute.
I see nothing in the logs.

2007-03-29 20:18:21 1HX5kz-0004GZ-8o failed to open /dev/null: Permission denied (euid=8 egid=12)

But this was after the problem started. I got a bizare error from DA this morning before the problem started stating:

I got this error message from DA this morning:

Your hostname, , and the servername you have set in DirectAdmin, tp.web-host-servers.com, do not match. It is recommended that these two values are the same.

Solution:

Either change the servername in DirectAdmin or run the 'hostname.sh' script via ssh to change your hostname

Unable to resolve your hostname, . This will cause major issues when sending email.

I'm not sure to begin at this point.
 
tp.web-host-servers.com

which is the correct domain. The mail is working now after much hair pulling. However, I do not know why DA sent me 2 of these emails. Thanks.
