Exim Upgrade ?

rpm -ihv means installing the new version.
rpm -Uhv means updating from previous version. Perhaps that'll work. (although I won't be responsible if it doesn't work out right)

edit:
Hello,

exiscan is compiled with all 4.34 versions.

Is it safe to install this over a MailScanner&SpamAssassin&ClamAV 'structure' ?

Will the new config automatically start scanning for spam/virusses without MailScanner stuff ?

Okay, I feel dumb :) How do I updgrade exim on FreeBSD using the pretty precompiled versions posted here? pkg_update will delete 4.24 but doesn't find 4.34 even it I toss it in /usr/ports/packages. Am I making this too difficult like always? :confused:

yea
can have some easy how-to about how can upgrade in freebsd exim, phpmyadmin and any other future updates from http://files.directadmin.com/services/freebsd4.8/ ?
Thanks
Christos
 
If anyone doing this upgrade in FreeBSD is running their /tmp directory as nosuid,noexec just remember to run:

export PKG_TMPDIR=/tmpdir/somewhere

or it won't work and you will get an error along the lines of:

./+INSTALL: permission denied
pkg_add: install script returned error status

I just thought I would point this out so nobody wastes and hour like me trying to work out what was wrong.

Other than that it worked fine on FreeBSD 4.9 :)

Try the rpm --rebuild method i posted above and see if that works.

I did try that first, but got a strange error (I'm not using RH at the office and never got that error) :
"--rebuild: unknown option"
 
Looks like you don't have the db devel package installed. Try installing db4-devel and that should include the db.h that you are missing.

Remeber, it's *new* so the may be bugs (exim.pl mainly).

I took the plunge and tested this out on my laptop first then when I thought everything was working fine I moved it to my server. The only problem I had at all with this was the addition of:
condition = "${if eq {$domain} {$primary_hostname} {yes} {no}}"

to the localuser director. It prevented any of my system users (ones listed in /etc/passwd) from accepting emails. When I removed that condition, to make it look like the 4.24 version of localuser it worked fine.

I have been monitoring my system closely since I installed it two days ago, and I must say that the amount of spam getting through is reduced by quite a lot. I implemented DSPAM instead of Spam Assassin and that has caught what little spam that made it through. Good job.

The end of the build should look like the following:

If you don't see the Wrote: line creating the files in the RPMS/i386 directory then it did not build properly. If you do, then the files should be there.

Hi ,

If anyone knows exactly how to integrate eximscan with clam
or f-prot wich is also free then please do ,

I must say that exim doesnt look good with mailscanner at all
too much configuration realy , i installed mailscanner with sendmail in 2 minuts and im not that good with nix's , its working fine , i gave it 4 days for testing on exim end all kinds of problems came from not scanning to not getting mail at all .

Eximscan on the other hand looks greate , but has no faqs to begin with .

If anyone pluged it in successfully then a post on that will be greatly apruciated .

<>>>>>

EDIT :

Exim 4.32(the rpm jhon posted) plus the ACL extentions work fine . Without scanning for viruses thought .
