Question

I am encoutering the following

exim mainlog and paniclog all exceed 10GB of data (and this is clogging my server: CentOS release 6.4 (Final))

The repeating message that I could tail from mainlog is

remote_smtp transport called with no hosts set 2013-12-24 07:42:12 1VmDSU-0002bQ-T6 == root@myserver.com R=local

I thought I'd solved this before - but apparently not.

Any idea how I can debug this? Or find yout what is creating this repetitive message?

I didn't find any articles on this topic

thx - Sean

Was it helpful?

Solution

You have a router named local that designates an smtp transport but without giving it any kind of host where you want the smtp message transported.

Can you provide the output to the following command?

exim -bv -v root@myserver.com

That should at least give us some more insight into what your configuration is trying to do.

Can you also tell us what your local router configuration looks like in exim.conf?
