Exim 4.51

LMAO. I just update to 4.50 2 days ago :)

What's new in 4.51?
 
PH/14 Modified the default configuration to add an acl_smtp_data ACL, with commented out examples of how to interface to a virus scanner and to SpamAssassin. Also added commented examples of av_scanner and spamd_address settings.

Sounds very good :D:D

Lots of ACL fixes! Can't wait for the "proper" DA package

I'm going to ask JBMC staff if they can prepare a DA package quickly as I'm working on what I hope will be the last public release of SpamBlocker/VirusBlocker, and I'd like to base it on 4.51.

can you fix the piping problems i have been complaining about all over the forum :p

not to mention if you send from a script that forges the email address it gets piped too. It shouldn't be piping on outgoing emails.

thanks Jeff let me know if i can help in anyway. Cpanel's exim.conf has something in it that prevents all this from happening, maybe a special filter or something.

I can send you one of those if you would like to have a peek.

Thanks,

Justin
 
Best way to help would be to send me specific problems instead of telling me to search for them "all over the forums".

Yes, I know that's what I tell people, but in this case I won't have time to do a lot of searching.

Second way to help would be to offer to test on other platforms besides RHEL, which is what we have and test on.

Another way to help would be send me a copy (private email; NOT on this forum) a copy of the CPanel exim.conf file from a recent version.

well the problem from my research is this:

1) piping is not setup correctly in exim.conf. 1st, it gets caught by two directives, virtual_aliases and virtual_aliases_nostar. While the fix people say to use is to remove the unseen line, cpanel's is exaclty the same and includes the unseen line and piping works effectively and i don't feel this is the proper fix.

i use kayako helpdesk, which you make an alias pipe to their php script.

first problem is that it will get caught by both those directives and send in two different tickets into the helpdesk. This of course is not the way it is suppose to work.

second problem is the one I mentioned above. When i send from modernbill or kayako for whatever reason (not sure of the cause here) the outgoing message gets piped. This is not proper behaviour.

when a user submits a ticket via email it should

1) send in one ticket and send that to all the helpdesk people.
2) outgoing mail, eg responding to a ticket already created should not get piped, it should just send out the email and enter the response. but for some reason it gets piped again and creates a new ticket when it should just respond to that ticket.

once a friend of mine updates to exim 4.51 on his cpanel box i will email you the exim.conf.

sorry for not being enough help, if i knew more about exim's directives i would just fix this myself but i can't.

and just to note this is not an issue or bug with the helpdesk i have looked into that.

thanks for your time jeff, if you need any more explanations just let me know and i'm sure all the future direct admin and kayako users will be quite happy.

Hmm when you say last public release, will you start only developing for private use or charge for it?
 
Hi guys, ;)

I've uploaded the source rpm for it. Can be found here: http://files.directadmin.com/services/da_exim-4.51-1.src.rpm

I have not yet compiled the binaries for each OS, so until then use:
Code: 
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/da_exim-4.51-1.src.rpm
rpm -ivh da_exim-4.51-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb exim.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -Uvh da_exim-4.51-1.i386.rpm
FreeBSD users can get compiled binaries here:
http://files.directadmin.com/services/freebsd4.8/da_exim-4.51-1.tgz
