Dears, Wait that you can help me, we had a VPS OpenVZ based with CentOS release 6.5 (Final) and Cpanel /DNS Only, i'm using as relay and cluster dns server, when i reboot the server see that exim work as well, but when i try to restart exim manually after to do changes on the mxsecondary file (for add or delete domains) show an error: root@teta [~]# service exim restart Shutting down exim: [ OK ] Shutting down spamd: [FAILED] Then when i see the exim status show this: root@teta [~]# service exim status exim dead but subsys locked Then i can not start exim again, if i reboot the server, exim start and work perfectly. Thank you very much by your help.

  There are two things I've seen cause this issue: 1) The presence of /etc/eximdisable, just delete this file and restart exim 2) The server being out of disk space and/or inodes, use 'df -h' and 'df -i' to confirm.
