Cannot allocate memory: while opening or reading /home/USER/mail/domain.com/webmas

Im using Exim, and RedHat 4 with latest release version of cPanel, While recieving mail I got this error: Checked if I dont have any free memory, but memory is really good: Also, load average is fine: Does anyone know about this issue and how to fix it ? Thank you in advance.

How many exim processes running? Are you checking that via webmail? This may help kill off old processes; service courier-authlib restart; service courier-imap restart; service exim restart

I already rebooted the server, so that wont help I think.. Any other suggestions ?

I'm sure you've already checked this, but how about making sure the file it is checking for exists/has right permissions, it cannot commit memory to a file that doesn't exist, or that it cannot write to.

The file doesnt even exists!!! should I just touch it to create it ?? does it need to have some configurations inside the file ? Thanks.

I've seen it become corrupt before, not so sure about missing entirely, but glad it's fixed

I agree on this

Defiantly.

yes, I think it would be a good idea

Maybe not, but I think I would agree on this.
