Resolving the “retry time not reached for any host” Error in cPanel Servers

As a server administrator, you might encounter the following error when your mail server attempts to send emails to certain domains:

retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

This issue commonly arises due to a corruption in the Exim Retry Database. When the Retry Database is corrupted, Exim (the mail server) is unable to reattempt sending emails to the affected domains, leading to this error.

What Causes This?

The Exim Retry Database is responsible for managing email retries when the initial delivery attempt fails. If the database becomes corrupt or locked, your mail server may not attempt to deliver queued emails, resulting in delayed or undelivered messages to the affected domains.

How to Fix This

To resolve the issue, you need to clear and rebuild the Exim Retry Database. Below is the procedure for fixing this on a cPanel server running CentOS or other Linux distributions.

Step 1: Clear the Corrupt Database Files

Start by removing the corrupted retry and waiting files. SSH into your server as the root user and run the following commands:

cd /var/spool/exim/db
rm -f retry retry.lockfile
rm -f wait-remote_smtp wait-remote_smtp.lockfile

These commands delete the retry and wait-remote_smtp files, which contain the retry records for undelivered emails. Lock files are also deleted to ensure that no processes are currently using these databases.

Step 2: Restart the Exim Service

After removing the database files, restart Exim to allow it to recreate the necessary retry files and clear the issue:

service exim restart

For systems using systemd, you can alternatively use:

systemctl restart exim

Step 3: Clean Up the Exim Database

To ensure that old or invalid entries are cleared from the Exim database, you can use the exim_tidydb tool to remove retry records older than one day. Run the following commands:

/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim retry > /dev/null
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim reject > /dev/null
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp > /dev/null

This cleans out stale records in the retry, reject, and wait-remote_smtp databases that may still be causing issues.

Step 4: Update Exim and Courier Services

For an added layer of assurance, it’s advisable to force updates of Exim and Courier. This can resolve any lingering issues with the mail system:

/scripts/courierup --force
/scripts/eximup --force

These commands will recompile and update both Exim and Courier to their latest stable versions, ensuring that no underlying issues with these services are present.

Conclusion

Following these steps should resolve the “retry time not reached for any host” error by cleaning up the Exim Retry Database and allowing your server to properly attempt mail delivery again. While this error is often reported for popular domains like Gmail, it can occur with any domain if there’s an issue with the Exim database or network interruptions. If the problem persists after taking these steps, it may indicate a deeper issue such as network misconfiguration or external mail filters affecting delivery.

Solving ‘421 Too Many Connections’ Error in FileZilla for Seamless FTP Transfers

FileZilla is a convenient tool for FTP file transfers in cPanel. However, encountering a ‘421 too many connections’ error can disrupt this process. To ensure smooth file transfers, let’s explore two methods to fix this issue.

Understanding the Error:
FileZilla throws this error when attempts exceed 8 connections from the same IP address without closing older ones. Incorrect settings might also trigger unsuccessful connection attempts.

Error Message:
“Response: 421 Too many connections (8) from this IP Error: Could not connect to the server.”

Method 1: Refresh Connections via cPanel

1. Log into your hosting account and access cPanel.
2. Look for “FTP Connections” under the “Files” section. If you can’t find it there, scroll down to locate it.

3. Open “FTP Connections” to see all active connections. Click “Reload” to refresh them.

Method 2: Increase FTP Connections from FileZilla

1. Open FileZilla and navigate to the File Manager option, which might vary based on your operating system. For instance, in iOS, you’ll find an icon, while Windows might display options like File, Edit, etc. Access the File Manager or Site Manager.

2. Click on “My Sites” from the left-sidebar and open the “Transfer Settings” tab.

If the settings area is accessible, select “Limit number of simultaneous connections,” and set the “Maximum number of connections” to more than 8. Click “Ok” to save the settings.

Please note: FileZilla doesn’t facilitate the disconnection of old connections; you’ll still need to use your cPanel account for that.

By following these steps, regardless of the presence of older connections with incorrect settings, you should be able to establish a successful connection between FileZilla and your hosting server.

These methods ensure a hassle-free experience with FileZilla for FTP transfers.
