Exim 4.60

sigh why make the rpm and no fbsd package I have fired an email of to john.
 
Would one of you be so kind as to check your /etc/exim.conf file and make sure it maintained your customizations?

Thanks.

Jeff
 
no it installed the default exim.conf that DA distributes I only did check on one server on all the others I just was backing up pre upgrade and restoring old config.
 
Thanks, Chrysalis. Do you know if there were any changes at all, or if it's just the standard default?

rpm -ivh da_exim-4.60-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb exim.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps da_exim-4.60-1.i386.rpm

This should do it.

Weird! Couldn't receive any new emails with exim 4.60. Have to downgrade to 4.54.

FreeBSD.

check exim.conf or set new one
Code: 
wget -O /etc/exim.conf [url]http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.conf[/url]
then restart
Code: 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim restart
work fine FreeBSD.
 
DirectAdmin is now delivering SpamBlocker Version 2.

Which requires some new files be added to /etc/virtual/.

While DA should be adding the necessary files with a new install, it's probably a good idea that you look at the Spamblocker Exim README file I've posted here.

Note that it's perfectly normal for DA to include SpamBlocker; it's been a part of DA for some time now. It's turned off by default, but still needs those files, or exim won't run properly if at all.

Yes I think it is a newer exim.conf then was used previously unfortenatly I simply overwrote it rather then keeping it so dont have it lying around to check. But seems you already know now :)
 
So, does everything work after you follow the stuff in the README?

Inquiring minds want to know (and want to be able to help you if possible).

Jeff
 
I'd still suggest checking to make sure everthing it needs is there.

Do you look for errors in your log files?

What do you find?

I have the same error! CentOS 3.0 :(
 
Updated exim on FreeBSD 6.0. After the upgrade exim won't accept mail. Tried to overwrite the exim.conf with the default one and restarted exim as suggested. To no avail.

Then i realised i haven't followed the directions on http://www.nobaloney.net/downloads/spamblocker/DirectAdmin/ReadMe.SpamBlocker.exim.conf.2.0.txt.

touch /etc/virtual/bad_sender_hosts
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/bad_sender_hosts
chmod 644 /etc/virtual/bad_sender_hosts
touch /etc/virtual/blacklist_domains
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/blacklist_domains
chmod 644 /etc/virtual/blacklist_domains
touch /etc/virtual/blacklist_senders
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/blacklist_senders
chmod 644 /etc/virtual/blacklist_senders

chmod 644 /etc/virtual/whitelist_senders

After this modification exim works like a charm.

Thanks for saying it more succinctly than I did.

Can I add your lines to my README?
