Exim: unknown named host list "+relay_hosts"

[AndreV]

Updated to the newest exim config yesterday, today there wasn't a single new mail in my mailbox.
Looked into the logs and found this line after every incomming mail.

faulty conf?

With Exim version 4.96?

Yes, with exim 4.96
But i found the issue...

i also changed permissions of /usr/bin/perl from 705 to 755
because awstats was throwing perl permission denied errors and didn't run.

The permission change made awstats to run again but it broke my exim it seems.
just a weird error from exim :/

reverted back to 705 and exim is now back to normal and receiving e-mails
