We were facing the following mentioned error for emails on the server and the emails were discarded with following message.<\/p>\n

The Above mentioned error is basically due to improper ownership assigned to the file \u201c\/var\/log\/filter.log<\/span>\u201d<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

To sort the error you can do the following:<\/p>\n

1) Check the ownership assigned for the file<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
ls -l \/var\/log\/filter.log<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
2) The ownership of this file must be cpaneleximfilter <\/strong>instead of root.<\/p>\n
3) change the ownership of the file as follows:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
chown cpaneleximfilter.cpaneleximfilter \/var\/log\/filter.log<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
4)Now just restart the Exim service on the server. This should resolve the error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
