Exim

[Root]

Exim doesn't want to run, even on a restart of the service. I'd like to not have to reboot, unless I must, but I doubt that'd fix the problem anyway.

Is there maybe an RPM package that'd be safe to use to re-install it? I know there is 3.x on sourceforge for it, but if I tried to install that I'd have to search for the dependancies and such and DA might not like that version anyway.

Any ideas? Or will DA just use sendmail instead of Exim?

This was posted by DirectAdmin before somewhere

rpm -e --nodeps da_exim
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./exim.sh

Ah guess I should have used search, which I will right after this, but this looks like its what is causing the crash:
error: Failed dependencies:
libdb-4.1.so is needed by da_exim-4.24-1

I'll search for it, but I always seem to have no luck when searching for .so's because I have to download some RPM that needs some other dependancy, although I guess I could ignore the dependancies if its an RPM...

What OS?

You can compile up your own copy of exim 4.34:

wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/da_exim-4.34-1.src.rpm
rpm -ivh da_exim-4.34-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba exim.spec
cd ../RPMS/i386
rpm -ivh da_exim-4.34-1.i386.rpm

Note that the above version is quite new, with a new exim.conf, and a new exim.pl, so just be aware of that ;)

Thanks for taking care of it at 1am. I know you guys have normal business hours, but logging in and compiling the RPMs was great. Thanks a lot!
