Exim config error - upgrading from 6.8 to 7.0

[schris403]

I can't seem to upgrade or reset my exim configuration to defaults after the recent 6.8 to 7.0 upgrade that was applied. I am using version 11.25.0-STABLE_46156. I am getting the following e-mail:

cPanel was unable to automatically merge your Exim configuration with the new settings that shipped
with the build you have installed (11.25.0-STABLE_46156) because you have a custom ACL configuration
which cannot be automatically configured.

To avoid any mail downtime, we thought it was best to leave
your previous configuration intact until the new configuration can be properly installed. In order to
complete this configuration update, you will need to manually merge your configuration with the new
configuration settings. Please follow the steps below to complete this update:

1. Enter WHM at /https://mydomain.com:2087/
2. Enter the Exim Configuration Editor:
(Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Editor >> Advanced Configuration Editor)
3. Notate any custom changes you have made in the ACL section.
You may also which to make a copy of /etc/exim.conf.local
and /etc/exim.conf.localopts as custom settings are contained in these files.
4. Click the 'Reset ACL Config to Defaults' button.
5. Reinstall your advanced custom settings.


Note: Until you manually complete this update, automatic spam filtering may have been rendered inoperable to
prevent any mail loss. (This generally only applied is you were upgrading from cPanel 10.x)

Current Config Version: 6.800000
New Config Version: 7.000000


When I try to reset exim to defaults like it suggests, I get this:
Your Exim ACL configuration has been reset to the defaults.

Configuration file has an invalid syntax. Please try again.

Can you post that line, including the few lines before and after it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Actually that file seems to be a temporary file during the process as it is not there when I manually look for it..

Anything ever come of this? I'm having a similar issue

2011-03-02 16:42:42 Exim configuration error in line 264 of /etc/exim.conf.buildtest.work.zAF6PacFpNEQHQ9F:
missing or malformed ACL name

exim.conf.buildtest.work.RanD0MChaRat3rs is indeed a temp file.

264 in exim.conf is commented out ##DO NOT EDIT THIS BLOCK or something to that effect.
