Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to add a logging feature to the Exim filters within the Advanced Exim Configuration Editor to help diagnose filters as and when required (probably a feature request - but if there is a workaround in the mean time, I'd sure like to hear it!).

The AEC doesn't allow me to directly alter the filters.

Code:
logwrite "$tod_log $message_id processed"
logfile $home/filter.log
The alternative would be to add them directly to the Exim file itself, but obviously that's liable to get overridden during updates, etc.

Regards,

Martyn

Hello :)

Have you tried adding that entry to the filter file itself? The global filter file is located at:

Code:
/etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter
However, you can copy this to a new file and configure Exim to use the custom filter file via the following option under the "Filters" tab in "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Exim Configuration Manager":

"System Filter File"

Thank you.
