Hi fellas,

I've got the centos server with WHM. The mail server is exim. I need exim put all messages in queue and not sending directly.Though I've added the queue_only option to exim configuration and the messages are collected in the queue now. Afterwards I've found out that someone is calling exim -q to process the queue every once in a while. I've found the following cron job:

0 6 * * * /scripts/exim_tidydb > /dev/null 2>&1

which I beleive has been used to process the exim queue. Also I suspect that script was installed alongside with WHM. Surely I've commented it out and was expecting everything to work just fine. But that didn't happen. I still get the exim queue processed once in a while.

Am I missing anything? What may cause my exim queue to process?

Here is cat /etc/exim.conf | grep queue

queue_only
deliver_queue_load_max = 3

Thanks
