Hi all, from one month I'm running 10 mail list with Smartlist.
Untill today the server (Linux SUSE 6.4 - with last version of Exim in replacement of the default sendmail) has worked very good, but today there was a loop and the same e-mail was sent to the list about 30 times ...
In the mailer log I have these entries:
Mainlog: 2000-11-23 16:16:21 13yy5C-0006NW-00 Failed to get write lock for /var/spool/exi m/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: timed out 2000-11-23 16:16:22 13yy5C-0006NW-00 Failed to open wait-remote_smtp database: C onnection timed out
Paniclog: 2000-11-23 16:19:19 13yy8r-0006Ul-00 failed to unlink /var/spool/exim/input//13y y8r-0006Ul-00-D 2000-11-23 16:19:19 13yy8q-0006UM-00 failed to unlink /var/spool/exim/input//13y y8q-0006UM-00-D
In the rc.local.S20 I have this line to strip from the header the e-mails of the list subscribers:
:0 fhw | formail -k -X From: -X Subject: -X Date: -X To: -X Reply-To:
Maybe I have stripped the loop flag (if it exists !) ?
Many thanks in advance

Those all look like serious failures inside of exim, like messed up permissions or file ownerships.
