    Hello,

    I've smart_host_route in my exim_outgoing.conf, which I've to add everytime I upgrade/reinstall exim.

    I tried using Exim configuration editor but it is not editable, this code sits below the sa_localuser entry.

    I also tried to edit exim.conf.buildtest but it didn't work for me. If I am right, exim.conf.local stores the changes made through Exim configuration editor but I couldn't edit it, couldn't understand where exactly to put my code so it works properly.

    This is my smart_host_route entry in exim_outgoing.conf

    sa_localuser:
    driver = accept
    check_local_user
    headers_add="${perl{gensaheader}{$local_part}}"
    condition = "${perl{checkusersa}{$local_part}{$received_protocol}}"
    domains = ! lsearch;/etc/userdomains
    transport = local_sa_delivery


    #my additional route

    smart_host_route:
    driver= manualroute
    transport = remote_smtp
    route_list = domain.com mail-1.domain.com bydns


    How can I make this change permanent? I think I need to edit exim.conf.local but I am not really sure where to put it.

    the correct file should /etc/exim.conf . if you are getting permission error on editing the file, check and make sure the file is not write-protected

    please Chirpy, could you help me.

    I currently use mailscanner with exim.
    All is working good including quarantine.

    I just don't get smart router

    It was functionning before mailscanner, but now, it seems not.

    I added this before mailscanner defer router :

    static_route:
    driver = manualroute
    transport = remote_smtp
    route_list = domain.com ip

    # where ip is x.x.x.x

    it doesn't seems to work, if the user for domain.com is created locally, mails get delivered locally, if the user is not created locally, i see ":backhole:" in exim_mainlog.

    nothing to remote smtp server.

    thanks in advance.

    i found !

    I had to put smart router in /etc/exim_outgoing.conf

    sorry....

    But i have another question.

    It's about quarantine.
    With qmailscanner, i just mv files from quarantine folder to user maildir.

    But now, with mailscanner, how to mv files from quarantine to user maildir ?
    it creates a directory stuture like %date%/spam/*

    sorry, i don't have a good knowledge of all unix commands and/or perl bash scripts...

    P.S. i think mailwatch would be a too much work to install.

    thanks again.
