exim fail

[Alec:D]

sometimes exim status shows its up and running, but emails can't send/receive, in this case while checking exim logs from sever , it shows the below log :

root@server [~]# tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
socket bind() to port 25 for address (any IPv6) failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (9 more tries)

to resolve this issue, fire the below script :

root@server [~]# /scripts/eximup --force

It will take 2-3 minutes to upgrading exim mail server with new configuration.

Done..
