How to update the exim.conf

To make use of the newest exim settings and enhancements, you can update the exim.conf by running the following as root::

wget -O /etc/exim.conf http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.conf
wget -O /etc/exim.pl http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl
chmod 755 /etc/exim.pl
cd /etc/virtual
touch blacklist_domains whitelist_from use_rbl_domains bad_sender_hosts blacklist_senders whitelist_domains whitelist_hosts whitelist_senders
echo 0 > limit
mkdir usage
chown mail:mail blacklist_domains whitelist_from use_rbl_domains bad_sender_hosts blacklist_senders whitelist_domains whitelist_hosts whitelist_senders limit usage

If you are running dovecot, you will need to re-patch your exim.conf:

patch -p0 < /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/exim.conf.dovecot.patch
patch -p0 < /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/exim.conf.dovecot.patch

one thing you need to note that you only need to run the patch appropriate to the build system you have. If you have custombuild, run the 2nd one. If you don't know what you have, then run them both, as it won't hurt anything if you patch twice.

Restart the Exim now :

/etc/init.d/exim restart
