Today a client told exim is not working properly on his server running Fedora C4 and Cpanel.
I checked /var/log/exim_mainlog
Found
root@shah [~]# tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog

The file /etc/localdomains is missing.
his /etc/yum.conf was
[main]
exclude=mod_ssl* httpd* perl mysql* php* spamassassin* kernel*
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log

#name=Fedora Core $releasever – $basearch – Unreleased Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/$releasever/$$
The problem was fixed by adding exim* to exclude list
exclude=mod_ssl* httpd* perl mysql* php* spamassassin* kernel* exim*
Else exim get reinstalled by yum everyday overwriting cpanel exim, creating the problem.
Now reinstalled exim and is working fine
/scripts/eximup –force
