Exim Upgrade ?

does this replace my current exim.conf when i upgrade? cause i already use spamblocker exim.conf with exim 4.24
 
Hey,

It replaced my stock exim.conf file with a new one. Whether it does that everytime I don't know.

It looks like the new exim.conf is Jeff's exim.conf (Spamblocker) or at least extremely similar.

I'm not having any problems with it.

Back up your exim.conf and if you customized it then you may have to reapply them to the new conf.

sorry I meant 4.42 and I am using freebsd, I did the same as I did for 4.34 and it installs ok but just doesnt start, I cant find where it logs errors tho so couldnt find out why it wasn't starting so for now have rolled back to 4.34.
 
All I can tell you is that I run 4.42 on FreeBSD (along with spamblocker, spamassassin and clamav), so it works.
But I can't help...I didn't install it, my tech team did.
 
everyone who have install exim 4.42 on freebsd without problems?
i can install this but the exim canot start :(
 
blueice it works fine on my freebsd5.x box but on my 4.x box it installs but doesnt start.

yes, i have the same problem with freebsd 4.9
Thanks
 
Same problem on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. It just coredumps when I try to run it. A gdb backstrace shows an error on signal handling, but nothing more ... Reverting to 4.34-1 did the trick...
 
Same here on FreeBSD 4.10. Luckily it wasn't on a production box because I upgraded and walked away...It's been a few days now (ACK!)

Exim 4.42 will start and then core dumps. I did a pkg_delete on 4.42 and pkg_add on 4.34 and Exim 4.34 started and stayed running without a hitch.
 
I checked the status 3 hours after starting the new 4.42 and its still running, I will check again later as well.

Your real error is still before the line. Not enough was posted to see what was missing or went wrong.

When updating to 4.42 I got:

How do you integrate clamd and spamassassin into exim?
Make sure you don't overwrite your exim.conf file (it shouldn't but back it up to be sure) and whatever your exim.conf file does, it'll keep doing.
