Hi,

We have installed the latest updates via custombuild last weekend. However since the updates named service doesn't want to start and we receive e-mail mulitple times.

Already found the mail problem is probably exim related and needs a downgrade to 4.93.04, but I don't exactly know how to do this correctly.

Also, the named service is down since.

named -bg states:

What could be the cause of permission denied on the named service?
Any info or link in how I can downgrade exim to 4.93.04 or getting it fixed in exim 4.94 would be great.


Thank you kindly for your help.

Hi to downgrade Exim :
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
echo "exim:4.93.0.4:" > custom_versions.txt
./build exim
./build exim_conf

If you have problems with DKIM follow this:
Go to the file exim.dkim.conf (in /etc map) make this change
Code: 
find:
dkim_domain = ${if eq{${lc:${domain:$h_from:}}}{}{$primary_hostname}{${lookup{${lc:${domain:$h_from:}}}lsearch,ret=key{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}}}

replace with:
dkim_domain = $sender_address_domain
 
Edit: @Active8 I also found it in one of your posts. thank you!

Still having a problem of named being down. sites and e-mails are working.
I think it's strange because it is about permissions. like the a wrong user starting it. But I am looking into it.
