Slight problem...

error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by da_exim-4.32-1
libssl.so.4 is needed by da_exim-4.32-1

(RedHat 8.0, standard exim)

[ProWebUK]

There's a difference with the files provided by openssl with 7.x/8 and 9.... will recompile for 7.X and 8 in a moment :)

Chris

[ProWebUK]

Ok all links updated with new rpms for 7/8.

Chris

[neorder]

i'm sorry what are these files for, mail and mail scan?

is the Standard Version default version in DA?

what exactly can the ExiScan version do?ExiScan support these

MIME ACL that is called for all MIME parts in incoming MIME messages.
Antivirus using 3rd party scanners.
generic command line interface
Sophie / Sophos
Kaspersky's kavdaemon
ClamAV via clamd
MKS AntiVirus
DRWeb AntiVirus
Antispam using SpamAssassin.
Regular expression match against headers, bodies, raw
MIME parts and decoded MIME parts.

do we need to install clamav in order to get it work?

[ProWebUK]

The exiscan versions are simply there for the many that have recently requested it, and want to remain with the DA rpms.

I've not really looked into it, and the only difference is the exim versions are patched... you dont need clam av or anything like that, no.

If you want to make use of the exiscan patch you will need to configure it yourself, information is on the website at:
http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan-acl/

Success~

a restart of exim is done as well. :)

may i ask what have you done? :)

after install these rpms, do you do other configurations, such as configure SpamAssassin.

thanks, i'm a bit blur here, heh heh. very sorry.

and is this needed in the future?

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1187

RedHat 9, ClamAv 0.67, MailScanner 4.28, Exim 4.24

I have tried to get SpamAssassin worked (and MailScanner as well) before I upgrade my exim, but finally I failed. So I rollbacked my system to use the default one. That's Exim only.

I just upgrade the RPM of exim, and anything got done. :D

[neorder]

i think i finally got some clue here, this is a version update, update exim from 4.24 to 4.32. and if i install the Exiscan patched Version, i will NOT have ClamAV and SpamAssassin installed automatically. Exiscan is to enable exim work with ClamAv and SpamAssassin, fuctioning as anti-spam and anti-virus, correct?

thanks jeffery and ProwebUK.

[jeffery]

Yes.

if you haven't configure Exim to work with SpamAssassin or MailScanner, it should worth upgrading to the latest version of Exim.

However, if you have followed the how-to to config it using MailScanner, I am not sure upgrading exim will affect it or not.. :)

You've confused me a bit Chris :( .

Are you saying that your exiscan doesn't need ClamAV, or that I won't need to install it because it's already in the patch?

Thanks.

I went through the homepage of Chris provided, it seems that the patch version enables the plugin of ClamAV easily.

It still need Clamd to be installed..,right? :rolleyes:

[ProWebUK]

The exiscan patched RPMs are no different to the standard ones besides they were compiled with the exiscan patch, many wanted this but wanted to remain with the DA RPMs rather than leave rpm and start manually compiling.... so it was basically for them.

Theres usage guides on timj.co.uk (linked from the official website) I believe..... besides that I dont really know how to use it.

If you dont know what the exiscan versions are (and dont want to find out) you would be better sticking with the standard versions.

(note: no additional configurations etc are included with the exiscan versions... it is ONLY the patch itself)

Neorder: This is simply an upgrade of the standard exim... you dont need clamav or anything else no matter what version you use, and the how-to you pointed it is not required...

Chris

[aleborg]

What about us FreeBSD users? Are there any help for us to get Exim with exiscan patch working?

[ProWebUK]

Will have to wait for John on that one... or any of the FBSD users.... I know nothing about the FBSD package system... the patch should be identical though.. if your compiling from source just use patch < patch

error: Failed dependencies:
libdb-3.3.so is needed by da_exim-4.32-1

Still RedHat 8.0 standard rpms...

[ProWebUK]

Install:

ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/compat-db-3.3.11-2.i386.rpm

Then try it again :) let me know how it goes

Chris

[Ryan]

Yeah, I certainly could do that. However, we already have compat-4.0 installed (libdb-4.0.so) installed.

Surely exim isn't dependent on that one specific version of libdb?

[ProWebUK]

4.0 should also have libdb-3.3.so

http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/taroon/ws/ia64/compat-db-4.0.14-4.i386.html

try:

rpm -q --provides compat-db

with version 4.0 i get:

libdb-3.1.so
libdb-3.2.so
libdb-3.3.so
libdb-4.0.so
libdb.so.3
libdb.so.3(GLIBC_2.0)
libdb.so.3(GLIBC_2.1)

Since the update (I updated earlier this evenign) I've seen some tickets floating in that squirrelmail is sending out emails with username@servername instead of username@domainname for the from/reply to lines

Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 23:06:17 -0500 (CDT)
Subject: test
From: inug@www59.genericdns.com

Email sent thru smtp seems ok.

[ProWebUK]

Check your exim.conf, (/etc/exim.conf)

The first page should have a few instances of /etc/virtual/domains and pophosts.

I just noticed that i didnt actually use the DA exim conf, but it should be fine on anything apart from a fresh install.... will make sure I get it fixed asap.

If you do need the DA exim.conf - http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim4.conf

If it still fails you can do a fresh rollback temporarily:

Any update on RHEL3 version? :)

[Icheb]

No one has given a 'user experiece' for a working exim 4.24 with MailScanner and ClamAV update so far.
Well, it worked perfectly, i backuped the configs (both of them), did a rpm test install, determined i had to install libsafe dependency :D
After which i installed it. After that was completed a 'server MailScanner restart' did the trick, the new server was instantly working great and MailScanner was still processing all mail :)

[sander815]

whats the difference between the standard and patched version?

RedHat 9
Standard Version
- http://directupdate.optimum-servers...4.32-1.i386.rpm

RedHat 9
Exiscan patched Version
- http://directupdate.optimum-servers...xiscan.i386.rpm


do i need both, or just either standard or patched, for use with clamav?

[SlashChick]

Looking for RHEL3 version...

[jjma]

Me too

I have already installed exim Exim 4.42
and now I am trying to install exiscan.

However when I try to install the file da_exim-4.32-1-exiscan.i386.rpm //
Obviously I get the following error message (as I am installing a previous version). Do I need to install exiscan?

rpm -ivh da_exim-4.32-1-exiscan.i386.rpm

[nettstedet]

Hello,

Any update on the RHEL3 version?

[roel]

Is there a nice Fedora Core 2 package that I can use, or can I just use one of the other ones?

[rldev]

Is there a RHEL3 version? Or are us RHE users going to have to use something different. I fiind it hard to believe somebody doesn't have this going on RHE.

For people that have exim already installed use -Uvh instead of -ivh

i=install and U=update ;)

[loopforever]

Just to inform everyone, incase they have not visited the Exiscan site recently:

"Starting with Exim Release 4.50, the exiscan patch is fully included in Exim."

:)

[jlasman]

DirectAdmin exim compiles have included exiscan for some time now.

Exim 4.50 RPMs with exiscan compiled in can be found here:

http://files.directadmin.com/services/XXX/

where XXX needs to be replaced by one of these:

1.90
1
2.0
2.1
2
3.0
3.1
3.3
3.4
3
4.0
7.2
7.3
8.0
9.0
9

with the number corresponding to the build for your OS distribution.

Install of da_exim-4.50-2.i386.rpm went fine, but:

service exim start
Starting exim: /usr/sbin/exim: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I use fc1

[jlasman]

Does libperl.so exist on your system?

If so, is it in the right place?

Jeff

[chielsen]

slocate libperl.so
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so

/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/mod_perl-1.29/apaci/libperl.so


I don't get it. How can i return to the old exim?

[jkrachter]

wanted to install the patch on CentOS (RHEL3) today.
I downloaded http://files.directadmin.com/services/3.4/da_exim-4.50-2.i386.rpm for my CentOS 3.4, but received next error:

Are these rpms really patched ones with exiscan?
Can anyone help please?

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

We've compiled it with:

WITH_CONTENT_SCAN=yes

We didn't compile it with:

WITH_OLD_DEMIME=yes

as it's depreciated:* Enable WITH_OLD_DEMIME by default to preserve backward compatibility with deprecated "demime" ACL condition. For Exim itself, setting WITH_OLD_DEMIME forces WITH_CONTENT_SCAN to be set.If you need demime, then get the src.rpm (http://files.directadmin.com/services/da_exim-4.51-1.src.rpm), and run:rpm -ivh da_exim-4.51-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

then add:
WITH_OLD_DEMIME=yes

to the top of da_exim-Makefile.
Once added, type:cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb exim.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
and then install the rpm from that directory. ;)

Have RedHat (Fedora eg)?

Don't have RedHat, sorry, dunno if there's anything to do about it. Building or rebuilding RPM's is RedHat specific.

I don't quite understand the last step, which rpm to install. If so how do I install it?

Please advise thanks

[jjma]

If you look in the inside of the .usr/src/redhat/i386 directory there will be a rpm of the lastest version you have just built:

If it is the latest version of exim it will be:

da_exim-4.60-1.i386.rpm

Install that.

Plus I think he needs to know how to intall rpm files.

Try using the command 'rpm -ivh rpmfilename' to install an rpm file named rpmfilename. I suggest reading the rpm man page to give you a better idea what those switches mean.

[jjma]

Quite right. I should have added:

rpm -ivh da_exim-whatversion.rpm

Jon

[Jinson]

Those links for the RPMs don't seem to work atm.

Hi,

I tried downloading the freebsd version of exim to do this from http://files.directadmin.com/services/freebsd7.0/da_exim-4.69-2.tgz however there is no makefile. Please help.

thanks
barry

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

That .tgz file is a precompiled binary, so you wouldn't need a makefile.
If you want the source, go to www.exim.org.
The Makefile lives here:
www.directadmin.com/Makefile

John

[icepick]

is there a howto?

If not or even if so, If I break it, whats the quickest way to rollback, can I use the binary in the URl i posted above?

[DirectAdmin Support]
