Hi list,
With version 4.87 of exim, the instructions in the book do not produce a
functional MTA. Namely sending local mails is not possible (I have not tried
to send mail to remote accounts anyway). The log shows:
---
2016-12-08 17:18:35 U=root F=<[obfuscated address]> temporarily rejected RCPT
[same address]: syntax error in "control=dkim_disable_verify"
---

The reason is that since version 4.87, DKIM support is no more built by
default, but only if TLS support is asked. But the default config file still
has "control = dkim_disable_verify", which is taken as syntax error since the
program does not know anything about DKIM.

There are two solutions for the book:
- the simplest is to comment out the lines containing dkim in the config file.
- a smartest one (IMO) would be to recommend the use of TLS. That would
promote openssl to a recommended dependency. I do not think it would be a
problem, because openssl is needed for so many things nowadays.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Pierre
