Hi all, Apologies for cross posting this on the SA and exim list but there are many years of experienced linux email managers on the two lists.
I am still frequently getting an error from our cron job. The cron entry is service spamd restart and the log entry is Feb 4 14:15:00 bill spamd: spamd shutdown succeeded Feb 4 14:15:01 bill spamd: Could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use (IO::Socket::INET: Address already in use) Feb 4 14:15:01 bill spamd: spamd startup failed Then in the exim log I get 2005-02-04 14:39:01 1Cx4bt-0005qk-JY spam acl condition: warning - spamd connection to 127.0.0.1, port 783 failed: Connection refused 2005-02-04 14:39:01 1Cx4bt-0005qk-JY spam acl condition: all spamd servers failed If I manually type service spamd restart all seems to be ok ,of course the shut down fails as it never started from the cron job so I get [EMAIL PROTECTED] exim]# service spamd restart Shutting down spamd: [FAILED] Starting spamd: [ OK ] Any thoughts? we have two mail setups and this only occurs on one of them. (A dell 2650 ,the old dell 2550 running same version of everything does not get the problem). Ron
