I am trying to setup exim4 with the available configs available on github. I am using the exim4-daemon-heavy package. However, I have a few questions:
1. If I were to run both the exim.conf and the exim_out.conf (provided by Andrew), it seems to me that they are trying to both bind to the same port 25 on localhost. Am I missing something? This is how I'm starting the daemon for testing: /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m -C /etc/exim4/exim.conf /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m -C /etc/exim4/exim_out.conf I think I solved the problem by adding local_interfaces to both configs and assigning two ip addresses to the host. Is that bad? Also, I guess my general question is if there is a way I'm supposed to start exim4 with both configs at the same time? Also, does anyone have a modified debian/ubuntu init.d script to contribute? 2. SPF Apparently the Debian maintainers do not use the exim4 built in SPF in the ACL. http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4UserFAQ#Why_are_you_not_using_exim.27s_built-in_SPF_interface.3F I'm wondering how people are handling this? I think in the example config from Andrew, SPF is checked by exim4 inbound. Am I reading this correctly? Also, I found this blog: http://bluesock.org/~willg/blog/debian/spfexim.html and basically debian people install either: http://packages.debian.org/stable/spfquery or http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/spf-tools-perl I'm wondering if anyone has had success with this, and can offer a replacement config line to: deny message = SPF_MSG spf = fail 3. dbl_host_defer_query and dbl_delivery_query = DELIVERY_QUERY Andrew, can you give me a quick idea of how these two things affect a baruwa installation? I guess my biggest concern is that if I'm missing both spf and this, is debian/ubuntu a bad choice for baruwa? Or, should I be building exim4 from source or building custom packages? Thank you to Andrew for all of his code, and thanks to anyone will to help! ~Noah Scanned for viruses and content by the Tranet Spam Sentinel service. _______________________________________________ Keep Baruwa FREE - http://pledgie.com/campaigns/12056
