Problem Description
Once or twice a week, I get an email from one of my Sympl servers which states that there are entries in the Exim paniclog. This email gets repeated every day (two copies each time for some reason) until I delete the paniclog, but then comes back the next time there’s an entry. The message is always the same, and it tends to happen in the morning between 7am and 10am.
Does this indicate that something is wrong, and if so can I fix it?
The server isn’t low on memory or disk space (11GB free).
