Hi is it possible to update Exim without updating the Exim conf? I have some modifications on the Exim conf file for use with Mailman, will I loose these mods if I update Exim to the latest version?

One more question, I am setting up a new server should I use Apache 1.3 or the 2.0 version. Your recomendations are highly welcome.
 
Your exim.conf will stay as it is when exim is updated. For Redhat OS' normally it will make a new one called exim.conf.rpmnew or along those lines.

As for apace I would say 2.2 as that's what I use and it is 'meant' to be better performance wise. Also it is the actively worked on branch with the others only ever having security fixes if I'm correct.

I still use 1.3. I value stability over speed, and apache has *NEVER* crashed on me before. Ever. I did a lot of research when choosing which apache version to go with and I read a lot more negative comments from administrators about 2.x then 1.3.x.
 
why dont u backup you exim.conf before updating and then use `diff` to compare the new with the old one.

Do any necessary changes required to the new file then.
