• A lot of information about Debian's Exim 4 packaging can be found in this document. • The packages contain a lot of Debian-specific man pages. Use the apropos exim command to get a list. • Most files that control the default configuration are documented in the exim4-config_files(5) man page, which is symlinked to the file names. Man should lead you to the page. • The Debian Exim 4 packages have their own which also links to a User FAQ.

• The very extensive Upstream documentation is shipped. 1.2. Getting Support For your questions and comments, there is a. Please ask Debian-specific questions there, and only write to the upstream exim-users mailing list if you are sure that your question is not Debian-specific. Debian-specific questions are more likely to find answers on our pkg-exim4-users mailing list, while complex custom configuration issues might be more easily solved on the upstream exim-users mailing list because of the broader and more experienced audience there.

You can subscribe to pkg-exim4-users you need to be subscribed to post. If you think that your question might be more easily answered if one knows a bit about your configuration, you might want to execute reportbug --subject='none' --offline --quiet --severity=wishlist --body='none' --output=exim4.reportbug exim4-config on the system in question, answer yes to both 'include [extended] configuration' questions and include the contents of the exim4. Canare Patch Panel Label. reportbug file generated by this command with your question. Please check whether the file contains any confidential information before sending. 1.3. Packaging Similar to the Apache2 package, Exim 4 is an entirely different package that does not currently offer a smooth upgrade path from Debian's Exim 3 packages. It is the first Exim package in Debian that can be configured using debconf. However, the entire configuration framework is extremely flexible, allowing you to get exactly the amount of control you need for the job at hand.

The contains a lot of useful links and other information. The subversion repository of the Debian package is available for public read-only access and is linked from the development web page. Exim4-base support files for all Exim MTA (v4) packages exim4-config configuration for the Exim MTA (v4) exim4-daemon-light lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon Just apting the metapackage exim4 will pull in the other packages per dependency. You'll get an exim daemon with minimal feature set (no external lookups). If you need more advanced features like LDAP, sqlite, PostgreSQL and MySQL data lookups, SASL and SPA SMTP authentication, embedded Perl interpreter, and exiscan-acl for integration of virus-scanners and SpamAssassin, you can replace exim4-daemon-heavy instead of exim4-daemon-light. Additionally, the source package offers infrastructure to build your own custom-tailored exim4-daemon-custom which exactly fits your special local needs.

The infrastructure to do so is already in place, see debian/rules for instructions. 2. Configuration of Exim 4 in the Debian packages Generally, the Debian Exim 4 packages are configured through debconf. You have been asked some questions on package installation, and your initial Exim configuration has been created from your answers.

Herbie Game there. May 10, 2009 Debian User Forums. /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: exim4 is broken or not fully installed Code. Package exim4-config-2 is not installed.

You can repeat the configuration process any time by invoking dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. If you are an experienced Exim administrator and prefer to have your own, hand-crafted, non-automatic Exim configuration, you will find information about how to do so in. The debconf-driven configuration is mainly geared for a one-domain shell account machine/workstation with local delivery as suggested by the original upstream default configuration. If you configure the packages to handle more than one local domain, all local domains are treated identically. The domain part is not used for routing and filtering decisions.
