Exim_mainlog growing too large
« on: December 20, 2005, 04:58:07 PM »
My mail server is exim and there is a log file at /var/log/exim_mainlog that is over 1.5GB now and will be too large for my /var partition quota soon. I hate deleting files. Any ideas what I can do? :confused:

Back it up to your home PC, and delete it/reduce it. No problem if its backed up :).

Thanks guys, that advice worked.  I can confirm that the issue is now resolved and I now have room left on my /var partition.
