Typo in /etc/exim.conf

[snickn]

It appears you have a minor typo in the exim.conf that causes it not to start right away...

[root@vanity customapache]# service exim restart
Shutting down exim:
Starting exim: 2003-10-07 19:52:49 Exim configuration error in line 268:
error in ACL: unknown ACL condition/modifier in "accpet hosts = +relay_hosts"
[FAILED]

vi /etc/exim.conf
:%s/accpet/accept/g
:wq!
[root@vanity ~] service exim restart

Not much to fix it, however still a tad annoying :)

Hello,

Thanks, that was fixed this morning (for new installs). The latest exim.conf (for anyone who needs it) is located at:

http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim4.conf

I changed to this config file

cd /etc/
wget (file)
rm -rf exim.conf
mv exim4.conf exim.conf
service exim restart

and it shows:

Shutting down exim: [ OK ]
Starting exim: 2003-10-13 18:05:59 Exim configuration error
main option "acl_smtp_rcpt" unknown in line 11


any help would be appreciated

Hello,

Make sure you are using exim 4 to use this file. If you have exim 3 (redhat 7.2, 7.3, 8.0) you'll need to either upgrade to the exim 4 or put the /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/exim.conf back onto /etc/exim.conf.

wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/<OS>/da_exim-4.24-1.i386.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps da_exim
rpm -ivh da_exim-4.24-1.i386.rpm
*notes: we remove the old exim first to make sure the new exim.conf will be used.
* replace <OS> with your OS version: 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0
