[Chrysalis]

exim 4.52 is released I will notify John for packages.

rate limiter looks a nice addition, there could be a config problem with a change concerning submission mode detailed at TF/02 on the 1st link if someone who knows the config well could check before we all dive in to the upgrade.

not yet, waiting for John src.rpm file ;P

[rpan]

It's out since july 1st, http://files.directadmin.com/services/da_exim-4.52-1.src.rpm

I've been using it for a week now, no problems so far.

[blueice]

i wait now for the freebsd and debian release

[Chrysalis]

yes I forgot to mention, I emailed John the day I made the post, he replied within an hour telling me he did the rpm, so I replied asking for the FreeBSD Package and have heard nothing since. So he is aware but for some reason hasnt done it.

Thanks so much!

hello everyone,
a bit of help here please :)

whan running:

rpm -Uvh da_exim-4.52-1.i386.rpm

i'm getting those errors:

error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is needed by da_exim-4.52-1
libssl.so.0.9.7 is needed by da_exim-4.52-1


any ideas?:rolleyes:

[jmstacey]

Do you have those two dependencies installed (the version it needs)?
You might need to install the devel packages ;)

i'm sorry but, can ytou excplain what exactly i need to install? (if there's some sort of guide i'll be super-glad :) ).

[nobaloney]

Telecart, what OS and distribution version are you running?

John, can you look into this please; if you remember I had a similar issue which I haven't addressed yet.

Thanks.

Linux, Centos 3.4

[DirectAdmin Support]

Try using --force. It might in fact work.. else just compile it from source.

[max2000]

I have this error message at the very end of the process:

file /etc/aliases from install of da_exim-4.52-1 conflicts with file from package setup-2.5.37-1.1

[dbeames]

I have the same thing:



[root@server i386]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps da_exim-4.52-1.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /etc/aliases from install of da_exim-4.52-1 conflicts with file from package setup-2.5.33-1

I have to use --nodeps because if I don't I get the error about missing libcrypto and libssl. No big deal, I had to do the same thing when upgrading to 4.50 exim.

What do you think about that error John?

UPDATE: Add --force to it. It works. ;)

[albatroz]

I am still with Exim 4.44
on Redhat 9, can somebody recommend any upgrade path to the latest Exim 4.52 version?

I have read that the new version changed its exim.conf format

Got the same problem...

Centos 3.5 Fersh install :(

Tried to build proftp 1.2.10 and it worked but exim doesn't.. :(

why?

[plugin]

Installed it some days ago in combination with SpamAssassin 3.0.3 and the latest ClamAV, works fine on RH90.

[albatroz]

I had Exim 4.4 working with Clamav and SpamAssassin on Redhat9.

Then I tried to upgrade to Exim 4.52
using
http://files.directadmin.com/services/9/da_exim-4.50-2.i386.rpm

The installation worked fine, but when I tried to restart I got this error:

2005-07-29 18:47:06 Exim configuration error in line 562 of /etc/exim.conf:
error in ACL: unknown ACL condition/modifier in "demime = *"

Uncomenting that line fixed the problem,
but what was that line about?
it seems to be related to Clamav

[Chrysalis]

read the 4.50 thread about config file changes.

[splitech]

well. i just downloaded the da_exim-4.52-1.src.rpm and installed it, restarted exim, and for some reason im still running 4.42 with no change to exim??

What happened?

You installed the source RPM, but didn't compile it !

Just type the following:

cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb exim.spec --clean
cd ../RPMS/i386
rpm -Uvh da_exim-4.52-1.i386.rpm
service exim restart

Where did you read that?

Neither the changelogs nor the "NewStuff" for exim 4.50 - 4.52, both found here (ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/ChangeLogs/), say anything about changes to exim.conf.

Jeff

[Chrysalis]

I believe 4.50 has changes to the way exiscan part of config works and interfasys posted the new method of using exiscan in the 4.50 thread. Since then there has been minor changes to the config in each release.

Hi all,

Was wondering if upgrading to newest version overwrites your config file.

As I have changes to it, and would rather not have to re-do them.

-Sheldon

[albatroz]

No, it doesn´t overwrite the config.

[Chrysalis]

[albatroz]

I have noticed that altough the EXIM upgrade does not overwrite the config file, it does overwrite the system_filter.exim file so if you have any custom setting there, you should be aware.

[jahama]

Is updating Exim in on my FreeBSD 5.3 box as simple as downloading the files indicated earlier in this thread and then just compiling them? Anything special need to be done when I ./configure the thing?

Thanks!

We have the same error is there allready a fix ? Centos 3.4

Thnx,

[CrazyLane]

I still have the same problem on RH 3.

[CrazyLane]

If you are getting these errors:

rfc2047.o(.text+0x38f): In function `rfc2047_decode2':
: undefined reference to `libiconv_open'
rfc2047.o(.text+0x45c): In function `rfc2047_decode2':
: undefined reference to `libiconv'
rfc2047.o(.text+0x548): In function `rfc2047_decode2':
: undefined reference to `libiconv_close'


Try uninstalling libiconv. As of PHP 5 iconv ext. are built in.

Worked for me anyway.
