To finish the installation, 'su' to root and type:

            make install-wrapper

If not installing the wrapper, type

            cd /etc/virtual/majordomo; ./wrapper config-test

(no 'su' necessary) to verify the installation.
./install.sh -o root -g 1 \
        -m 4755 wrapper /etc/virtual/majordomo/wrapper

To verify that all the permissions and etc are correct,
run the command

             cd /etc/virtual/majordomo; ./wrapper config-test

Solved
by this:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set exim yes
./build set eximconf yes
./build set eximconf_release 4.5
./build set spamassassin yes
./build update
./build exim
./build exim_conf
 
Maybe the options need to be set before actual building. However, I'd hoped CB2 will at least build exim with some defaults (eg. exim.conf 2.8) then let us set what we require afterwards.

Think this is a CB2 thing.
