Exim - The Mail Transfer Agent
Exim is an open source mail transfer agent (MTA), which is a program responsible for receiving,
routing, and delivering e-mail messages. MTAs receive e-mail messages and recipient
addresses from local users, remote hosts and deliver the messages to their destinations.
Exim was developed in 1995, by Philip Hazel at the University of Cambridge for the use of Unix
systems connected over the Internet. The software feature more straightforward configuration
and task management.
Early MTAs were usually run as open relays, just routing and delivering mail without applying
many rules or security controls. Exim features include user options for defense against mail
bombs and unsolicited junk mail. Exim can be run on any TCP/IP network, in conjunction with
any combination of host and user software, and is the default MTA included on most Linux
systems.
Each mail handled by Exim will have a unique message-ID. Most commands related to
managing the queue and logging use these message-ids. Exim log files are stored in
/var/spool/exim/msglog and are named the same as the message-id. Files in
/var/spool/exim/input are named after the message-id.

pop3 not working

===========
have a VPS with WHM and cPanel installed, when I try to login to an email account I made in
cPanel, I get this error message:-
Quote:
POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Authentication failed (bad password?)'
Couple questions for you.
1. Do you have root access to the box to run scripts? You can try running some fix scripts if you
do.
2. Have you tried telneting to that pop3 server and logging in through the telnet session? There
are many walkthroughs on the net on how to do this, just google it.
5 / 11
Exim
3. Are any other POP3 accounts having the same issue or is it just a specific account? If this is
the case delete the account and recreate it. Also delete all of your temp files, including your
temp internet files, on your PC. That will usually flush out any bad or garbled password files that
are saved.
prevent pop3 flood option active

===================
mplement Chirpy's csf/lfd solution.
I have opened a ticket with configservers; it was suggested to try the following commands.
/scripts/updateuserdomains
/scripts/mailperm
killall -9 cppop
/scripts/restartsrv cppop
check for this and disable it cpanel does not need it

/etc/xinetd.d/popa3d “Is not there.”
service xinetd restart

service cpanel restart
domain name entries are available in /etc/localdomains and /ets/trueuserdomains files.
if mail send not pop
Is the mail spooling in the mail server?Try login to the WHM > Manage Mail Queue to check it
out.

The mail server is up and is running fine. We confirmed it by sending and receiving mails
between v2host@gmail.com (our test account) and the email account damien@threesixes.com.
The mails were successfully delivered. The session logs are given below for your reference.
We tried to send and receive mails from outlook express itself. We could not locate any issue.
6 / 11
Exim
We have configured outlook this way:

Display Name : damien@threesixes.com
Email Address : damien@threesixes.com
Incoming Mail server (pop3) : mail.threesixes.com
Outgoing mail server (smtp) : mail.threesixes.com
Account Name : damien@threesixes.com
Password : stabler
Also check the column 'My server requires authentication'.
1. Step one is to check your Outlook Express settings, making sure that the POP3 and SMTP
servers are as in the screen shots, and that your full user name and password are correct. Then
try to connect again.
2. If the settings are fine, but you are still having problems test your connection by following this
procedure: Logon to the Internet in the normal way. Click the START button, then RUN
Type in cmd on Windows NT/2000/XP or command on Windows 95/98/ME. This opens a new
window, with black text on a white screen, or the opposite. Type in the following command
exactly as it appears. You will not see what you are entering so take it slowly, and if you make a
mistake, start again. Now first type the following
TELNET mailservername 110
and hit the Enter key, you will then be connected to the email server. Type in USER
your_username and hit the Enter key. You will then get a message +OK Please enter your
pass, with the PASS command Type in PASS your_password and click the Enter key. If it is
correct, you will get an OK MAILBOX OPEN
3. If you can't get in this way either, it could be that your email password has somehow become
corrupted. Try changing it in the domain manager. If you have just upgraded to use our web
mail system, you will need to reset your email password once before start using it. Then try
again and see if the Outlook Express error message vanishes.
4. Are you running anti-virus software or personal firewalls? If so disable them and try again. If
the problem has vanished, configuration of these products could be the problem, particularly if
they are set to automatically scan incoming and outgoing emails.
5. Are you running Windows XP? If so, disable the firewall there too and try again because the
firewall function in XP is enabled by default.
The basic checks have now been completed. If you are still getting this error message, there
are two more drastic options to try. If you cannot even get connected to the Internet, then you
will need to reinstall TCP/IP from scratch because some components of Windows has somehow
become corrupted.
7 / 11
Exim
If you're still having problems, it could be that Outlook Express is itself corrupt. Microsoft's
instructions on how to delete it and reinstall it, along with making a backup of your address
books etc, are available for Windows 95, 98, and ME and for Windows 2000.

Please check if everything works fine for you and if the issue persist, please do let us know the
following details so that we can check the issue in detail.
1.The account which is having issue, with password.

2.Your IP address(get it from whatismyip.com).
3.The result of the commands "telnet domainmame.com 25" and "telnet domainmame.com 26".

To fix this change the values for the following in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/php.ini.

It should be like
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = /tmp
