We have a number of servers. Today we ran updates. 1 server keeps displaying

SRS Configuration Error: No secret specified

in /var/log/exim/mainlog and for certain domains incoming mail is rejected because

temporarily rejected RCPT

/etc/exim.srs.conf is availble, readable (644) and included in exim.conf. And yet the secret is not loaded.

Ugh. Somehad had locked exim to version 4.92.something. I removed the custom version, it's working now.

Also happened when exim filters were modified and exim was left at an old version.

CB forces 4.96 now, as exim.org lists all the other versions as obsolete. Due to various vulnerabilities in previous versions, no one should use them. Is there any reason you’re using an old version?
