upcp overwrites exim.conf

[gservat]

Hi,

I've made a modification to exim.conf to handle aliased domains. Anyway, the problem I'm having is that every time I run upcp, it seems to restore the dist version of exim.conf (ie. any changes get thrown out). Any ideas?

Thanks

umm... so just make your changes in all the exim.conf* files... or in the small addon file it uses for custom stuff entered from WHM.

You can fix this by doing chattr -i /etc/exim.conf. This will make it so it isn't overwritten. I would suggest using the exim.conf editor in WHM to add your changes though. Seems anything added there isn't overwritten with updates.

Unfortunately, you cannot do that anymore. The /scripts/exim4 script reverses the operation before installing a new version of exim

Also, it's chattr +i to make it immutable

Are these changes that you're able to make in the WHM exim config editor? If they're made there, they won't be overwritten.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Pretty impressive response times!

Editing exim.conf through WHM did the trick.
