Exim Configuration Editor error

[Domenico]

Why does the Exim Configuration Editor say that there is an error while writing exim.conf while I can easily add the directives manually in /etc/ecim.conf without any error.

I'm trying to add the following in exim.conf through WHM without any success.

deny message = $sender_host_address is listed \
at $dnslist_domain
dnslists = spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com : \
proxy.relays.osirusoft.com : \
socks.relays.osirusoft.com : \
spamsites.relays.osirusoft.com : \
inputs.relays.osirusoft.com : \
spamsources.relays.osirusoft.com : \
dialups.relays.osirusoft.com : \
list.dsbl.org : \
flowgoaway.com : \
dialups.visi.com : \
blackholes.easynet.nl : \
opm.blitzed.org
deny local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|]
message = I've never seen @, %, !, /, or | in an e-mail. Neither should you.

Go back to SSH and edit /etc/ecim.conf

WHM no good for this!!!

We allways do it that way but when cpanel updates something, things changed are returned to the state you see them in WHM so that's why you better can change them via WHM.

Have you gotten the WHM edits to work? It's current state doesn't seem to work properly for the dnslists

The exim config editor does not yet support \ at the end of the line. Just put it all on one line and it will work.

What a knee-jerk response.. :0

WHM works if you used your brain and asked why it didn't

Hi Nick,

Everything on one line? How?
I tried everything but the error remains.

2003-07-24 23:35:24 Exim configuration error in line 232:

Anyways, I want to get the following as default so when something updates, this stays. how?

Nick ?

This concerns all of you so this has to be solved or are you guys just using the default exim.conf file without any spam filters?

Anything on this yet? Just curious. Not impatient.

I'd like to be able to use the WHM editor, but I still think it's in it's 'beta' stage.

I think each section should allow an 'overwrite' instead of adding. That way we can control order if we like, and it would solve the issue of trying the deny lists.

Currently, it appears that we can't really add our deny lists properly.

If you want to use the deny lists then chattr +i the exim.conf

upcp won't replace it but /scripts/exim4 will replace it.

put that doesn't really 'solve' the issue.

I have no problem manually editing it as I have all along. It's just that the WHM editor implies that we would no longer have to manually edit after each update.

I'm not in a tremendous rush. I know there is plenty of other more important stuff. And I really appreciate how cpanel was so quick to recognize the MailScanner edits.

great howto mm

The exim config editor will handle backslashes in the latest edge.
