problem with exim
I have a Cpanel server with 20 users.
when I execute
tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
I can see a lot of these lines
unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from
I have millions of these lines on my exim_mainlog
Apparently email works fine on my server no problem,
but I am worried about these error lines.
What does it means ?
If they are not a worry , may I remove from logging them ?
