As this keeps coming up and there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding it I've put together a working howto:

Hi Michele
I ran into the problem of putting the additions to exim.conf too near the end of the file. I knew this because I got the following in /var/log/exim/paniclog:
2006-01-30 22:29:12 Exim configuration error in line 750 of /etc/exim.conf:
option "spool_directory" unknown
My problem now is that when I try to send mail to my server I get:
421 Unexpected failure, please try later
I have checked:
/var/spool/exim/msglog/mainlog
/var/spool/exim/msglog/paniclog
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/exim/mainlog
/var/log/exim/paniclog
and don't get much out of any of them.
/var/log/maillog shows MailScanner starting but not exim. /etc/rc.d/init.d/exim confirms this with just MailScanner showing as running OK.
/var/spool/exim/msglog/mainlog and paniclog just show:
2006-01-31 00:30:34 failed to open /etc/virtual/whitelist_domains for linear search: No such file or directory
/var/log/exim/mainlog shows lines like this:
2006-01-31 00:06:20 exim 4.60 daemon started: pid=22608, -q15m, not listening for SMTP
Any ideas?
