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.
I too think that anybody running a halfay functional mail server will enable tls. And there is no need to install exim if you don't want to run a mail server.
