Note that I write this from memory; I could make a mistake. We're not responsible if you damage your server by following my instructions posted on this forum. We're happy to do the work for you as a commercial service, and of course we guarantee our work.

That said ...

Generally exim is installed on a CentOS machine by an RPM. You can remove an RPM install on CentOS by first making copies of your exim.conf file (if you need your custom changes).

# rpm -e exim
Then you can reinstall it using one of the exim RPMs found here (http://files.directadmin.com/services/es_5.0/).

# rpm -ivh /path/to/your/local/copy/of/exim.rpm
BUT ...

The subject of this thread is how to recompile exim. Do you really want to compile it on your system? It's resource intensive and will take a while.

If so, instructions can be found here (http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125). Afterwards you'll need to get the exim.pl DirectAdmin uses from here (http://files.directadmin.com/services/), and you'll need to either reinstall your exim.conf file from your backup, or download (and customize a new one from either here (http://files.directadmin.com/services/) or here (http://www.nobaloney.net/downloads/spamblocker/DirectAdminSpamBlocker3/).

There are some notes here (http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13847). Note that you have to do a special compile against non-open-source code. And that at least one person says it doesn't help get through the Yahoo filters.

Help you do what? We can install anything you want on a Linux-based server, as a commercial service. Or do you want advice on something? If so, on what?
