Debian Testing/Unstable, Exim4 and MailScanner 4 [SCANNED]

[Alex Pimperton]

Thanks everybody, finally got it working! :)

The second exim4 daemon only runs the outgoing queue every 30 minutes at the
moment but I think I know how to change it.

Thanks again

Alex

Your autogenerated config does not appear to have the code for the two
exim directorys.  Did you copy the snippet to /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/ ?

Are you using split config or a single file?  Check in
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf

dc_use_split_config='true' (or false)

If it is set to true then you need to run update-exim4.conf

If it is set to false then you need to manually copy the contents of the
01_mailscanner-config snippet into your /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.

I put it right after the DCconfig_DEBCONFconfigtypeDEBCONF line, and
right before the main/02_exim4-config options starts.

Then run update-exim4.conf again

second daemonto deleiver the mail.
