MailScanner - RHEL 7 Systemd

Wed Jan 18 20:44:16 UTC 2017

Ah yes, I bound exim-out daemon to port 26 and made sure the local firewall didn’t permit access to it. It doesn’t matter what port it’s on…so long as it has something to bind to.

Hi Warwick,
Thanks for your suggestion and support. I'll do follow all steps accordingly. I have one more question that configuring exim-in and exim-out services will not lead to port binding issue ?
As when I setup exim-in and exim-out services, I got error on port conflict, that port 25 is already in use by exim-in.
Could you please suggest some way forward.

Sorry Faisal,

There is good documentation out there already and I don’t have time to re-write it for you. Basically, (1) you need to have an exim config that works before you start, and (2) you need to read the integration guide https://www.mailscanner.info/exim/ to implement the required changes, and then (3) use the scripts I provided before to overcome the fact the documentation doesn’t currently cover systemd configuration.

It is not something you can install out of the box and expect it ‘just-to-work’. You need to have a real feel of what you’re doing and what you’re working with (e.g. strong prior knowledge of Exim and SMTP)

If you don’t have time or the knowledge to do this – then you may want to consider an appliance such as https://efa-project.org/ which has mailscanner built-in and will just ‘get-you-there’.

Regards,

Warwick

Hi Warwick,
Can you please share step by step instructions to set MailScanner with Exim on CentOS 7........ as I am looking to setup everything from scratch ........
Else, I have no choice to go back with MailScanner with Exim on CentOS 6  ......... because I am unable to have good tutorials/articles .........on MailScanner with Exim on CentOS 7.

Also…running exim from the command-line without the –C /path/to/outbound/exim.conf just delivers from the inbound queue thus bypassing mailscanner altogether.

It may be worth setting a command alias for “exim –C /path/to/outbound/exim.conf” for your convenience.

Hi Warwick,
I have applied your suggestions, but my outgoing exim is still not delivering emails automatically ........ however, when I push email (exim -M <msg-id>) it gets delivered ........
Can you guide me on this issue as well .......

Dear All,
I need your support for setting up MailScanner with RHEL 7.2. Your support is highly appreciated for configuring MailScanner system unit to run the service properly along with ExecStart statements for both incoming and outgoing Exim.
Thanks.

If my hunch is right that you want to know how to start/stop exim from system with a dual daemon setup - try placing these two files to create the “exim-in” and “exim-out” services, and then enable the service like you would any other system service

# cat /etc/systemd/system/exim-in.se<http://exim-in.se>rvice
[Unit]
Description=Exim Mail Transport Agent Input Queue
After=network.target
Conflicts=sendmail.service postfix.service exim.service

[Service]
PrivateTmp=true
Environment=QUEUE=1h
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/exim
ExecStartPre=-/usr/libexec/exim-gen-cert
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/exim -bd

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

# cat /etc/systemd/system/exim-out.service
[Unit]
Description=Exim Mail Transport Agent Output Queue
After=network.target
Conflicts=sendmail.service postfix.service exim.service

[Service]
PrivateTmp=true
Environment=QUEUE=1m
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/exim
ExecStartPre=-/usr/libexec/exim-gen-cert
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q${QUEUE} -C /etc/exim/exim_out.conf -oP /var/run/exim-out.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Warwick
