Hi,

I've been thrown in a middle of a problem with someone else's dedicated server.

The server is actually running DirectAdmin with Exim. Lately they've had problems with Exim as it started creating a ton of processes until the server would run out of resources.

Looking at the mail queue, it was loaded with spam and I can't empty the queue through DA as it said:

Error proccessing the list

Details

No valid message ID's were passed
So I logged in as root and tried:

exim -qff
But then it failed after about a minute with this error message:

dm-0: write failed, user block limit reached.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!
