My server is set for updates everyday and when I woke up today my Exim server was not delivering emails. They were just sitting in the mail queue. My server's management company did some trouble shooting but could not get exim to function properly. As a last resort I just forced another update and it updated Exim again. Now it works.

Did anyone else get bad exim update last night or did my junk just break by itself?

Apparently I was not the only one -> http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=67521

Now my FTP is down.

I wish I would have stayed with version 10.

FTP client error message

Command: LIST
Error: Transfer channel can't be opened. Reason: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Error: Could not retrieve directory listing

We had some problems with exim on a recent cpanel update as well, although that was about 2 weeks ago. We had to restore back to 10 stable before correcting the issue, and have since held off on some of the 11x updates.

I had my updates set as CURRENT but backed it down to RELEASE. I still need to get this issue resolved, using the File Manager to upload files is annoying. I tried changing to proFTP and no dice, so I went back to pureFTP and still no dice. Just times out at the LIST command. I also tried 2 different FTP clients.

try updating now I think they have issued a fix for the ftp part

the mail is maildir conversion that you will need to run as mbox was dropped this morning at about 7am cst

easy process but I wished they had a warning system

I could not agree more.

Thanks for the help. I fixed the FTP issue the old, fasion, Windows way. I restarted the server and now it works. Lost my >200 day uptime in the process.
