Hello, I started working with Exim a few days ago, so I'm a very very beginner for now. The question I have is, I think, very easy and the goal of my question is to get a proper use of Exim's config files. The setup : I'm using a Debian distribution, so after installing Exim4 I done a : dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config to set the main parameters of my network. After that, I wanted to enable TLS and here is the problem... I added the "MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = yes" in the conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions. Here it works after restarting Exim : I can see STARTTLS after EHLO localhost on telnet. But after that I wanted to set other options like (for examples) : tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/certs/file1.crt tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/certs/private/file2.key
(I know that Exim takes by default the exim.key and exim.crt in /etc/exim4 folder so I can unset the two lines above and use the files generated by gencert command... but it's to understand the good way to set/redefine the parameters in config files). So... I tried to insert theses two lines in � conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions � and also after in a new file � conf.d/main/000_local �... but Exim tells : "tls_certificate" option set for the second time". So I took a look to the files in conf.d and saw that this � tls_certificate � parameters already exists like here : .ifdef MAIN_TLS_CERTKEY tls_certificate = MAIN_TLS_CERTKEY .else .ifndef MAIN_TLS_CERTIFICATE MAIN_TLS_CERTIFICATE = CONFDIR/exim.crt .endif (If the MAIN_TLS_CERTKEY is defined, Exim takes this parameter. Else if not defined, Exim use the default files like "/etc/exim4/exim.crt" where CONFDIR is defined as /etc/exim4). Here is my question : what is the best way to define a value like this ? Create in conf.d/main directory a file called like � 000_local � and set in � MAIN_TLS_CERTKEY = value � ? I prefer asking to advanced admins what is the good way. So with a second example, if I want to enable the � tls_try_verify_hosts � value, I have to set : MAIN_TLS_TRY_VERIFY_HOSTS='true' in the 000_local file in conf.d/main/ ? So with this each time you want to set a value and if it's already defined in default conf, you have to find the variable associed ? Like here, we wanted to set � tls_try_verify_hosts � and the associated variable is � MAIN_TLS_CERTKEY �. I know it's a really beginner / noob noob question... but just want to go to the good way with Exim. Thanks a lot. Regards, JohnS
