How to fix "exim dead but subsys locked" issue

cPanel is annoying, but sometimes we still have to use it. If you come across the issue “exim dead but subsys locked”. Have a go at the following:

root@server [/]# /etc/init.d/exim status
exim dead but subsys locked

If you see this error check for a file named eximdisable in /etc/

If you found the file then do the following steps and you are all done.

root@server [/]# mv eximdisable eximdisable.bak
root@server [/]# /etc/init.d/exim restart
