exim conf changes

[AudiAddict]

Is there a way of making changes to the exim conf file when using custom build 2.0 with:

eximconf_release 4.5
eximconf yes

I see #EDIT33 options - but if I change them - do they stay there after an update? Or do I need to use a custom file or something?

The reason why I am asking is that I am experience allot of false positive blocks (for example even my VISA creditcard statements don't come in my e-mail anymore)

When trying to debug this false blocking issue I am running into the problem that the reject log file only shows the daily output in directadmin log viewer. Is it possible to GREP this for multiple days?

It's better not to edit #EDIT33 in that case. You can better check which list is causing this issue and edit the filter list.
If you want to disable RBL checks, you don't need to edit anything, you can disable that from within Directadmin.

Logfiles can be found in /var/log/exim and this directory contains files for multiple days.

No, if you customize exim.conf you will loose your modifications with exim.conf upgrade.

Or do I need to use a custom file or something?

You can use whitelists, skiplists to allow trusted senders to email to you without filtering:

/etc/virtual/skip_rbl_hosts <-- put trusted hosts into the file, one hostname per line.
/etc/virtual/skip_rbl_hosts_ip <-- put trusted senders' IP into the file, one IP per line.

or even

/etc/virtual/skip_rbl_domains <-- put hosted domains into the list if you don't want any RBL filtering of incoming emails for such a domain.
