You cannot update Exim to a newer version that 4.94

[simpel]

did an update today but i get:

You cannot update Exim to a newer version that 4.94, because you do not have configuration updates set in options.conf file and exim.conf seems to be old (no local_part_data or domain_data directives).

not sure where to get the latest conf file and why i dont have it in the first place.

stat /etc/exim.conf

ok, solved it by comparing with another server that did do the update.

difference was the options.conf file in custombuild dir:

eximconf=yes
eximconf_release=4.5

just set these options and should be good to go.. unless you made some custom changes to /etc/exim.conf

so make a copy first and after run a diff

this maybe?

Exim 4.94 update causes email temporary rejects

Got the Same issue on CloudLinux and CentOS 7, so it looks quite OS independant. yeah I was just trying to see if I could hone in on the issue. here is RH https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848283

or run

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set_fastest

then retry updates
