I’m in the process of configuring a server running centos 6.1 x64, exim 4.76 and mailscanner 4.84.3 on DirectAdmin 1.41.1.
I have run into the issue whereby specifying a config file with the -C switch no longer runs exim as root unless a TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file is defined in Local/Makefile. See the exim documentation at http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch05.html
This behaviour was changed in newer versions of exim (from around 4.74 because of a root exploit.
Problem is, I don’t know whether a TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file was defined in Local/Makefile because Exim was installed on my system from da_exim-4.76-1.x86_64.rpm.
I think it is a case of compiling from source because having read the instructions at http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125 I downloaded http://www.directadmin.com/Makefile and there's no mention of TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST in there. I believe I would be looking for something like:
TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/local/exim/trusted_configs
Can anyone confirm?
