    Default exim.conf deleted after upgrade to latest CURRENT

    I've upgraded two of my servers to the latest CURRENT build today (9.9.9-CURRENT_156).

    On both servers /etc/exim.conf got deleted so I had to copy /etc/exim.conf.buildtest to /etc/exim.conf to get exim running fine again.

    Anyone else experienced this?

    Haven't had that problem here, then again, exim didn't upgrade though its in the changelog.

    What does rpm -q exim print ? Assuming your on a rpm based OS.

    this happened to me on one box ..here is what I tried to fix it:

    /scripts/exim4

    but it would fail at the download part. So then I copied the link from the error and tried to "wget link here" and got permission denied and then remembered that I chmoded -x /usr/bin/wget ..so then I changed it back to 700 and ran /scripts/exim4 again and it worked great.

    I had chmodded wget too I remember now.

    Anyway, on one server everything seems to run fine now, while SpamAssasin refuses to start up on the other one (sending me tons of SMS'es from service monitor).

    Tried to force a reinstall of spamassasin but it's only giving me errors

    If you're having problems with spamassassin, try:

    rpm -e spamassassin
    rm -Rf /usr/share/spamassassin/*
    /scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SpamAssassin


    Problems with exim (and to upgrade to the security fixed v4.44) do:

    chmod 700 /usr/bin/wget
    /scripts/exim4 --latest

    Thanks, but when I run:

    /scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SpamAssassin

    I get:

    That's OK, it was just incase you had an OS install of it. Did you try the other two lines (the delete and force install?)

    This just keeps getting worse. Apparently since SPAMD didn't work last night all emails have bounced.

    Now they get into the mailqueue, but they are not delivered.
    This is the error message when I try delivering them manually in WHM:

    Code:
    LOG: MAIN
      <eddie@xxxxxxx.co.uk>: virtual_sa_userdelivery transport output: An error was detected while processing a file of BSMTP input.
    LOG: MAIN PANIC
      == eddie@xxxxxxx.co.uk R=virtual_sa_user T=virtual_sa_userdelivery defer (-24): Transport filter process failed (127): unable to execute command
    Anyone knows how to fix this?

    Running that command gives me this:

    Code:
    open2: exec of /usr/bin/spamc failed at /scripts/RestartSrv.pm line 347
            ...propagated at /scripts/RestartSrv.pm line 397.
    Spamassassin Update Failed, reinstalling!

    Seems my box can't find any CPAN mirrors. How can that be fixed?

    Tried googling it but seems i'm the only one with that problem.

    I got more then 1 Server so I just made a copy of the exim.conf from another one.

    I found doing the following fixed the Spam Assassin and Exim4 issue....

    1) perl -MCPAN -e '$ENV{FTP_PASSIVE} = 1; install CPAN'
    2) /scripts/exim4
    3) export LANG=en_US
    4) perl -MCPAN -e shell
    5) force install Mail::SpamAssassin

    Note that this was with the latest 'Current' build of cPanel.

    ANUK.
