/usr/sbin/ is where the default binary installation went and the main file is called well.. exim.

From the ports it is installed into /usr/local/sbin/ and the main file is now called exim -> exim-4.34-0 (symlinked)

Also the config file is in /usr/local/etc
the startup script in rc.d is now called mta.sh.

Anyone know how to handle the upgrade correctly?

Thanks, I'll try to follow those directions and see if they differ on a FBSD 5.x box. And if so I'll post them here..
 
It installs without complaints but when you send mail to the server it bounces saying:

I rolled it back with with exim.sh script in the directadmin script dir.

Any ideas why it is blocking users?
 
Hello,

I'm not sure how the other port is setup, but it needs to use the /etc/exim.conf file, and not any other exim.conf's (ie: not /etc/exim/exim.conf)

It did use the one in /etc but I'm waiting for the official DA package to make sure it is working when I upgrade. Mail is a sacred thing for my users :)
 
My guess is that DA for FreeBSD doesn't use the paths in the ports system.

John?

Mark?
