Package: exim4
Version: 4.34-8
Severity: important
I am seeing lots of exim4 processes in the following state:
exim4 6304 Debian-exim 0u IPv4 655292 TCP myserver:smtp->mail2.myisp.net:49602 (CLOSE_WAIT)
exim4 6304 Debian-exim 2u IPv4 655292 TCP myserver:smtp->mail2.myisp.net:49602 (CLOSE_WAIT)
exim4 6304 Debian-exim 3u IPv4 655313 UDP myserver:35888->ns1.myisp.net:domain
Also lots of processes are running:
....
Debian- 6162 0.0 0.2 8488 2556 ? Ss 13:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
Debian- 6292 0.0 0.2 8500 2692 ? S 13:11 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
Debian- 6304 0.0 0.2 8500 2692 ? S 13:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
Debian- 6399 0.0 0.2 8500 2692 ? S 13:35 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
....
If left all smtp connections are saturated over time, as the number of
exim processes increases incrementally.
After issuing an /etc/init.d/exim4 stop there are still lots of exim4
processes running, which have to be killed manually.
Thanks
Rory
