How To Disable Eximstats on cPanel

Eximstats does just what it implies, keeps stats on exim(email). Sometimes you don't care about these stats and want to free your database and I/O up for more important things. Luckily you can via the following CLI command:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/tailwatchd -–disable=Cpanel::TailWatch::Eximstats
