Hi folks,
Exim 3.33 is now up and running on the server and has been found to be stable enough to go live :) If you experience any problems with the lists over the next couple of days, please drop me a note and I will try and fix things as quickly as I can.
Regards,
MartynPS. The only dislike I have about Exim is that in order for anybody to authenticate through SMTP AUTH with /etc/shadow support, you're going to need to use the pam_exim module available from http://www.e-admin.de/pam_exim/ as this is the only "secure" thing that will work other than to run exim as root.
Martyn,
How much pain was involved in doing this? I've been running sendmail happily for a couple of years now, but there have been a few vulnerabilities coming along even in 8.12, and maybe it's time to rethink the strategy. I'm about to build/am in the process of building a dedicated email box for our DMZ and now is as good a time as any. Do you have any pointers to how-tos and other stuff for me? Any gotchas?
I do need to be able to handle virtual domains, and I do need to be able to run imap and pop at the same time. Oh yeah, and I need to bounce spam!
Help gratefully received.
Cheers, Laurie.
