Exim wont start after update

[flexjoly]

Hi,

Please help!!

I just let CB2(plugin) do the advised updates. And no Exim won't start anymore.

It says:

Starting Exim Mail Transport Agent...
Apr 16 12:43:28 ***.nl exim[23794]: 2018-04-16 12:43:28 Exim configuration error in line 38 of /etc/exim.easy_spam_fighter/check_mail.conf:
Apr 16 12:43:28 ***.nl exim[23794]: error in ACL: unknown ACL condition/modifier in "spf = fail"

--update
I removed all 'spf = xxx' from the config. Now exim runs again. But I guess this is not a good, permanent solution.
What can I do?

Thanks in advance
Lydia

Do you have the latest exim.conf (currently 4.5.9) ? Do you have exim_conf = yes in options.conf?

You now removed things from easy spam fighter too, which is indeed not a good practice.

As Erulezz said, set exim_conf to yes in options.conf, I woud at least have i tlike this:
#Mail Settings
exim=yes
eximconf=yes
eximconf_release=4.5
blockcracking=yes
easy_spam_fighter=yes
And spamassassin if you want etc.

Then ./build update
./build clean
./build exim
./build exim_conf (also takes care you have the latest exim.pl file)
./build easy_spam_fighter

Check that you have that line again in the ESF check_mail.conf.

Should be fine and "original" then.
