when I tested from a different server to this one I get this output in the error log: this has started about 36 hours ago for no apprent reason (maybe an automatic CPanel update?) and I am not receiving ANY email (from no other servers either). I tried to uncheck the options in WHM "sender verify" and "use callouts" but I still get this same error, would anybody know what this issue is? and as a quick fix, how do I disable the "${perl{checkspam2}}" and "${perl{democheck}}"? Thank you Shneur

Hi During actual use, the perl function in logs cannot open the file it needs... Exim need to have read/execute?? priviledges to the perl script as whatever user exim is at the time the script runs. Check the permission on the perl script /etc/exim.pl and all related files to the perl script.

hmm, in my /etc there is no exim.pl! maybe this is the problem, the only closest file is exim.pl.local, how would I fix this? these are the 'exim' files I have in /etc (between other files):

ok, I copied the exim.pl file from my other server and this seems to have fixed the problem, I'm not sure yet if there are any IP differences or other settings which I need to update n this file to be spesific to this server. interestingly, I ran /scripts/eximup --force and /scripts/upcp --force and these did NOT fix and add the exim.pl file...

Hi No need make any changes apart from exim.pl file. let me know if you still have any problems.

Exim.pl file is not regenerated or created with eximup. Only exim configuration is updated. If you need a different exim.pl you need to change cpanel release and run upcp.
