lookup type "dnsdb" is not available

[SamotniQ]

I try to use MX checking for domains in check_recipient section. I use acl like this:

deny message = Brak zdefiniowanego rekordu MX dla domeny. \n\
No MX envelope sender domain $sender_address_domain.
hosts = ! : !+relay_from_hosts
senders = ! :
condition = ${if eq{${lookup dnsdb{mx=$sender_address_domain}{$value}fail}}{fail}{yes}{no}}
delay = 5s
log_message = No MX record in DNS.

deny message = Rekord MX w DNS musi byc postaci FQDN. \n\
MX for transport sender domain $sender_address_domain must be FQDN.
hosts = ! : !+relay_from_hosts
senders = ! :
condition = ${if !match {${lookup dnsdb{mx=$sender_address_domain}{$value}fail}}\
{\N.*[A-Za-z].*\..*[A-Za-z].*\N}{yes}{no}}
delay = 5s
log_message = MX record is not a FQDN.



I my /var/log/exim/mainlog get some errors:

failed to expand ACL string "${if eq{${lookup dnsdb{mx=$sender_address_domain}{$value}fail}}{fail}{yes}{no}}": lookup type "dnsdb" is not available (not in the binary - check buildtime LOOKUP configuration)


How to enable dnsdb in Exim on FreeBSD 6.3 box?

dnsdb lookup needs to be compiled into the exim binary used.

Hopefully DirectAdmin staff will look at this thread and check into it, perhaps giving us some suggestions.

Hello,

Based on this:
http://www.directadmin.com/Makefile

it shows:

#LOOKUP_DNSDB=yes

which is commented out.. now it has a default value of "yes" so I'm not sure if that means it's compiled in by default with a value of yes, or if the fact it's uncommented means it's not compiled in. Usually a commented out value with a value implies the internal default.. so my guess is that it *should* already be compiled in.

I believe the command:
exim -bV
should show you what items are included in the binary.. on the files I just tested on it gave:
Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz
which likely means that it is *not* actually included, since it's not in the list...

So basically, exim would have to be recomipled with the value:
LOOKUP_DNSDB=yes
(without the # character)

So ... what is the fast way ... to recompile Exim with dnsdb using DirectAdmin?

Hello,

Depending on your system:

via src.rpm:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=126
note to change the Makefile, you'd use:

rpm -ivh da_exim-4.69-1.i386.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
#edit the da_exim-Makefile and set the values you want
cd ../SPECS
rpmbuild -ba exim.spec

the new rpm should end up in:
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/


OR

via source:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125
