Exim service stopped

[BSDer]

Hello,

I freshly installed DA and am now trying to test it's functionality. I set up a domain and created a mail account for it.
When I go to the services though I see that exim is stopped. Trying to start it with service exim start results in the following.


Starting exim: Shared object "libsasl2.so.2" not found, required by "exim" [ OK ]

And the service is not starting up. This is installed on a 9.3 64bit FreeBSD.
If somebody has an idea what might be causing it then I would appreciate it

Regards,

BSDer

Hello,

try this

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set exim yes
./build exim

and write whether or not it solves your issue.

Hello Alex,

Thank you for your feedback, that seems to have done the trick although I get the following warning now.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim: WARNING: sendmail_submit_enable should be set to NO

Is this a warning I can ignore or should I made a modification?

Regards,

I'm glad to know it helped you.

I guess since you use exim you should disable sendmail in rc.conf by adding

sendmail_submit_enable=NO

From man pages:

sendmail_submit_enable
         (bool) If set to ``YES'' and sendmail_enable is set to ``NO'',
         run [URL="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sendmail&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.1-RELEASE"]sendmail(8)[/URL] using sendmail_submit_flags instead of
         sendmail_flags.  This is intended to allow    local mail submission
         via a localhost-only listening SMTP service required for running
         [URL="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sendmail&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.1-RELEASE"]sendmail(8)[/URL] as a non-set-user-ID binary.  Note that this does not
         work inside [URL="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=jail&sektion=2&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.1-RELEASE"]jail(2)[/URL] systems, as jails do not allow    binding    to
         just the localhost    interface.
