Please help! Exim rejecting all incoming emails since DA 1.702 update! [solved]

[petersconsult]

Hell All,

i'm in a complete panic, and i don't know what to do..
Since the most recent automatic update to DA 1.702, Exim is now rejecting all incoming emails!
a look at the log show this error:

failed to expand ACL string "${perl{auth_hit_limit_acl}}": Undefined subroutine &main::auth_hit_limit_acl called

i have RSpamd and Easy Spam Fighter installed
Has anyone run into this issue?
i would greatly appreciate any help!
Thank You!

try rebuilding exim

 

[fln]

@petersconsult, the error means your Exim configuration is using the old perl helper function that is no longer available in the Exim perl script provided by the DirectAdmin.

This situation can be caused if you are using custom Exim configuration that was not updated to stay compatible with the recent changes in Exim.

Same problem and instructions how to remove unwanted customizations can be found: https://forum.directadmin.com/threa...al-problem-please-try-late.82249/#post-400447

If you do not need local customizations you can remove them with:

rm -rf /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/exim

Thank You All for the prompt help!

removing the old /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/exim/exim.conf file and rebuilding exim did the trick!

i can't figure out for the life of me why i even had a custom exim.conf file, but that's a different discussion..

Huge thanks also to my hosting company, KnownHost, who responded with lighting speed and effectiveness (as always)!

Thank You Again!
