|
|
I'm running Debian and I want exim to only be used for outgoing mail (notices, warnings, etc...)
I modified my config file at /etc/exim/exim.conf.O and uncommented this line then I restarted the service.
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
This doesn't appear to work, I can still send mail to the box.
Some time ago I upgraded to exim4 and in my /etc directory I have both the monolithic config and the directory config (under exim4)
1. This might sound stupid but how do I know which one exim is using?
2. When I restarted the process exim4 is now running as user 104, and not root as it used to. Is this normal?
Thanks for any tips! |

| If you have both you'll be using the monolithic exim4.conf |

I think I'm being an idiot and exim has always been running as 104.
As for my other problem, running
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
seems to cleared things up a bit. I'm pretty sure exim.conf isn't being used anymore as it doesn't get update by the dpkg process. This file does however:
update-exim4.conf.conf |
