Well for one, I would check any aggregated logs cPanel writes as well as the system logs if the daemon is completely crapping out and I would assume those would get stashed in /var/log/ and get named appropriately. Otherwise exim should have 3 basic log sets: exim_mainlog - main log file - I believe aggregates everything exim_paniclog - might be a good place to start as its specifically panic events during runtime exim_rejectlog - delivery rejects, ACL validation failures, etc. Thanks, James -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
