File /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf is autogenerated by dpkg (Debian packet manager), so this it NOT a good solution. You have better to use split-config and add custom definitions in files under /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/. > echo "MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT='100M'" >> /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf > > Important here is that the var must be in upper case where the internal > param is in lower case. It seems you do not understand clearly how it works... File /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options from Debian distribution contains: # Message size limit. The default (used when MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT # is unset) is 50 MB .ifdef MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT message_size_limit = MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT .endif Files under /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/ are sourced in alphabetical order. So if you add your custom definition of MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT before 02_exim4-config_options, it will be applied to message_size_limit. If after, it will be ignored. PS. As Jeremy pointed, this list is not for Debian-specific questions. -- Eugene Berdnikov -- ## List details at https://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/
