That was exim.

Post #131,026 by Yendor 12/16/03 1:50:59 PM Reply	That was exim. Or, if you're lucky, exim4. If it was the former, install the latter. If it was the latter, try `dpkg-reconfigure exim4`. -YendorMike [link\|http://www.hope-ride.org/\|http://www.hope-ride.org/]
Post #131,028 by inthane-chan 12/16/03 2:02:25 PM Reply	exim4 not on Debian Woody. How important is exim4 versus exim? Version appears to be 3.35. If needs be, I can pin an experimental version in, but this system has to be ROCK solid, no screwyness EVAR. I have a blue sign on my door. It says "If this sign is red, you're moving too fast."

Post #131,035 by Steve Lowe 12/16/03 3:18:57 PM Reply	Doh.. Well for that hopefully the GPSK (Greg, Peter, Scott, Karten (sigh)) collective will reply as I haven't got a clue :) I'm relatively new to running exim and as I'm using testing, exim4 is the default, thus the only one I've got any (read: miniscule) knowledge about. I misread your post, sorry about that. ----- Steve

Post #131,045 by Yendor 12/16/03 4:02:15 PM Reply	Unsure... ...There's some kinda word going around (ask Peter) about some problems with exim4 and SpamAssassin integration, but I'm not up on the details thereof. I've got work to do and such. Meanwhile, I run exim4 at home as my only MTA. The BIG change that I noticed from exim (version 3.x) to exim4 is that instead of one huge-ass monolithic config file, there's a whole directory tree of smaller, more-easily-managed configs. This is a GOOD thing, as the exim3-style exim.conf was a fucking beast, and that's putting it nicely. -YendorMike [link\|http://www.hope-ride.org/\|http://www.hope-ride.org/]
Post #131,140 by pwhysall 12/17/03 3:14:24 AM Reply	Exim4 metaconfig What's in /etc/exim4 is a Debianism. The actual config is generated by the update-exim4.conf script which parses the /etc/exim4/ tree and places the resultant monolithic config file in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated. The init scripts execute the exim4 daemon, specifying this config file. This is a good thing - just don't automatically expect to see it on other distributions or operating systems. For Thane: Exim3 is no longer maintained; critical security bugs will be fixed, but the current version of Exim is 4. [link\|http://www.exim.org\|http://www.exim.org] <-- read the FAQ.

I have taken this piece and moved it into an RPM I made for Redhat 7.2+ It is absolutely the single most brilliant config break down I have seen yet of nearly any package. Apache 1.3.29 in Sid appears to be being done the same way. Awesome. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey*

Only Debian stable is still on 3. Get 4. I was one of the original authors of VB, and I wouldn't use VB for a text processing program. :-) Michael Geary, on comp.lang.python
