Edit exim.pl

[nservices]

Hi,
after I edit the file exim.pl, I need to recompile exim or just restart the service ?

Best Regards,
Star Network.

I guess reinstalling/recompile exim will overwrite exim.pl.
Maybe you can tell which changes you made, so jlasman can answer the question for you.

You don't need to do '/etc/exim.conf' at SSH, that doesn't work and should not work.
tza could you please send the output of 'cat /etc/hosts' (i guess a 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localdomain is missing)

this:


# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 server15."xxx".com server15 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
xxx.xxx.xxx.138 server.not good domain.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.138 server."the good domain".info

the "xxx".com it is not my domain , is domain in another server

how i fix this
thanks you

It should be something like

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
server-ip server.hostname.tld server
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

If you change it, make first a backup.

Replace 'server-ip' by your server IP (eth0)
Replace 'server.hostname.tld' by your hostname
Replace 'server' by everything before the .hostname.tld
