Re: [DNG] exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size

No luck. I rebooted and got the paniclog error during the boot. After
booting, I stopped exim4, deleted the paniclog, and restarted exim4.
It created a paniclog containing the following:
Had you also executed
exim4 -qff -v
I think you would immediately had your paniclog back, you have
undelivered messages that fails when exim tries to deliver.

name for mail_spool transport) not permitted
How do I convince exim4 that /var/spool/marc is an acceptable file
name for mail_spool transport?
Exim no longer allows a sender to decide a name of a path component, in
this case 'marc'. Your config needs to agree on 'marc' being allowed.
This is done using a lookup locally.
From what I understand there was / is a discussion about a setting to
just warn about this tainted data but allow it, but I could not make it
work.
I think you already have a lookup in the default config that checks
/etc/aliases which would allow 'marc' in your path if you just add a line
marc: marc
to it, I cant promise because I also use another lookup to be able to
send mail.
Anyhow, after a successful lookup, the config variable ${local_part} can
be replaced by the new variable ${local_part_data} which will recieve
its value in the lookup you need to have.
Your config files under /etc/exim4/conf.d must not contain ${local_part}
anymore.
I have no idea what will happen if you try to reinstall exim to get a
new default config.

[DNG] exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size
I am getting e-mails like the one below all the time, now. I had this problem once before and I think that all I had to do was clear the paniclog with '> paniclog', but that does not seem to be working, now. I cleared it this morning, and when I just checked it was filling up again. It looks like I get three lines every half hour. This is preventing me from receiving e-mails sent by a cron job that runs a backup script. Any ideas on how to get rid of this and not have it come back would be greatly appreciated.
