Exim re-reads its own configuration frequently, but changes which need to affect the listening daemon still need a HUP to trigger a main config re-read. If your external files are Exim fragments, being ".include"'d into the main config, then you need a HUP. If it's a file reference of the form: hostlist foo = /path/to/file then it is cached after the first reference, so if it is referred to *before* exim forks to handle the incoming connection, you'll probably need a HUP again to get it to be reused. I expect local_domain will only be used in child processes, so would be fine without a HUP. relay_from_hosts ... it depends upon whether or not you're using it in directives such as hosts_connection_nolog or smtp_reserve_hosts. -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
