Hi, I am a new user to exim. I am trying to setup my ISP so that it can
except email for virtual domains. I built and installed exim 2.05, then
added a slightly modified version of example C009 to my configuration. Exim
has problems with transport section of the configure file:
virtual_alias:
driver = aliasfile
The error I get when I run exim -bd or exim -bV is this:
Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 1998
1998-10-26 09:56:49 Exim configuration error
transport virtual_alias: cannot find driver "aliasfile" in line 230
So I ran recompiled with exim with -g and no other optimizations. And set
break points init_driver() of readconf.c (line 2456). There is a varible
driver_info *dd that I watch in each iteration of the loop. It has for
possibilites appendfile, autoreply, pipe, and smtp. None of these were
aliasfile. I went back to my Local/Makefile and saw this:
TRANSPORT_APPENDFILE=yes
TRANSPORT_AUTOREPLY=yes
TRANSPORT_PIPE=yes
TRANSPORT_SMTP=yes
So I thought I would add this line before the TRANSPORT_APPENDFILE,
TRANSPORT_ALIASFILE=yes.
I rebuilt exim, but got the same error, and debugged again, and noticed the
same thing.
Any ideas, on how I can fix this? Below, I have attatched my configure
file, and the Local/Makefile.
Thanks,

# This is the template for Exim's main build-time configuration file. It
# contains settings that are independent of any operating system. It should
# be edited and then saved to a file called Local/Makefile before first running
# the make command.
# Things that depend on the operating system have default settings in
# OS/Makefile-Default, but these are overridden for some OS by files called
# called OS/Makefile-<osname>. You can further override these by creating files
# called Local/Makefile-<osname>, where "<osname>" stands for the name of your
# operating system - look at the names in the OS directory to see which names
# are recognized.
# However, if you are building Exim for a single OS only, you can place all the
# configuration settings in the one file called Local/Makefile; only if you are
# building for several OS from the same source files do you need to worry
# about splitting off the OS-dependent settings into separate files.
# One OS-specific thing is the C compiler; the overall default is gcc, but
# some OS Makefiles specify cc. You can override anything that is set by
# putting CC=whatever in your Local/Makefile.
# The location of the X11 libraries is something else that is quite variable
# even between different versions of the same operation system (and indeed
# there are different versions of X11 as well, of course). The four settings
# concerned here are X11, XINCLUDE, XLFLAGS (linking flags) and X11_LD_LIB
# (dynamic run-time library).
# Another area of variability between systems is the type and location of the
# dbm library package. Exim has support for ndbm, gdbm, and Berkeley db. By
# default it assumes ndbm; this often works with gdbm or db, provided they
# are correctly installed, via their compatibility interfaces. However, Exim
# can also be configured to use the native calls for Berkeley db 1.85, and
# this is defaulted for some operating systems. The defaults are set in
# OS/Makefile-Default, and can be changed by putting things into an OS-specific
# Makefile, or indeed into the main Local/Makefile if Exim is being compiled
# for a single OS only.
# See also the file doc/dbm.discuss.txt for discussion about different dbm
# libraries.
# In Local/Makefiles blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. It is
# also permitted to use the # character to add a comment to a setting, for
# example
#
# EXIM_GID=42 # the "mail" group
#
# Consequently, it is not possible to have the # character present in any
# setting, but I can't think of any cases where this would be wanted.

# location of all other runtime files and directories can be changed in the
# runtime configuration file.
CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/local/exim/configure
# In some installations there may be multiple machines sharing file systems,
# where a different configuration file is required for Exim on the different
# machines. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE is defined, then Exim will first look
# for a configuration file whose name is that defined by CONFIGURE_FILE,
# with the node name obtained by uname() tacked on the end, separated by a
# period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.host.in.some.domain. If this file
# does not exist, then the bare configuration file name is tried.
# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE=yes
# In some esoteric configurations two different versions of Exim are run,
# with different setuid values, and different configuration files are required
# to handle the different cases. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID is defined, then
# Exim will first look for a configuration file whose name is that defined
# by CONFIGURE_FILE, with the effective uid tacked on the end, separated by

# DELIVER_BUFFER_SIZE=8192
# Included directors: These variables determine which individual director
# drivers are included in the Exim binary. There are no defaults; those that
# are wanted must be defined here by setting the appropriate variables to the
# value "yes". The actions of each director are described in a separate chapter
# in the manual. Including a director in the binary does not cause it to

# The mode of the database directory: Exim creates a directory called "db"

# directory to use for locking purposes defaults to 0640 in the source, and
# can be changed here.

# Cycling log files: this variable specifies the maximum number of old
# log files that are kept by the exicyclog log-cycling script.
EXICYCLOG_MAX=20
# Running Exim not as root: A uid and gid for Exim can be specified here. These
# are compiled into the binary, but can be changed by settings in the runtime
# configuration file. If EXIM_UID is not defined, the default in the code is to
# run as root unless specified otherwise at run time. Specifying 0 at
# run time has the effect of unsetting the values build into the binary.
# The settings here must be numeric; the run time file allows names to
# be used. When this uid and gid are set, the Exim binary still has to be
# setuid root if local deliveries are to be performed or a listener on port
# 25 is to be run, but it gives up its privilege when possible. There is a
# trade-off between security and efficiency, controlled by the runtime
# "security" setting, which controls how privilege is released (setuid vs
# seteuid).
# EXIM_UID=
# EXIM_GID=
# Compiling the Exim monitor: If you want to compile the Exim monitor,
# a program that requires an X11 display, then EXIM_MONITOR should be
# set to the value "eximon.bin". Comment out this setting to disable
# compilation of the binary file that is run by the eximon script. The
# locations of various X11 directories for libraries and include files
# are defaulted in the OS/Makefile-Default file, and can be overridden
# in local OS-specific make files.
EXIM_MONITOR=eximon.bin
# The maximum length of header line that Exim is prepared to process. There
# is a limit in order to catch rogue mailers out there that might connect to

# at it. The default is 8192.
# HEADER_MAXLENGTH=8192
# The mode of the input directory: The input directory is where messages are
# kept while awaiting delivery. Exim creates it if necessary, using a mode
# which can be defined here (default 0750).
# INPUT_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
# Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
# single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
# log file name here, by setting LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one
# occurrence of %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main",
# "panic", "process" or "reject" to form the final file name. For example,
# some installations may want something like this:
# LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
# which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
# in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
# it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
# of writing files using this path name. If you have defined EXIM_UID and
# EXIM_GID above, then that uid and gid must be able to create files in the
# directory you have specified.
# You do not have to define the log file path here; an option in the runtime
# configuration file can also set it, and that overrides any setting here.
# However, it is recommended that you set it here if it is a fixed path, so
# that it is available right from the start of Exim's execution. Otherwise,
# errors detected early on, for example errors in the configuration file,
# cannot be logged.
# If you do not set LOG_FILE_PATH here or in the runtime configuration, Exim
# creates a directory called "log" inside its spool directory (see
# SPOOL_DIRECTORY below) and uses that with filenames "mainlog", "paniclog",
# etc. Its mode defaults to 0750 but that can be changed here.
# LOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
# This value is used only when Exim creates the directory for itself.
# The log files themselves are created as required, with a mode that defaults
# to 0640, but which can be changed here.
# LOG_MODE=0640
# Included file and database lookup methods. See the manual chapter entitled
# "File and database lookups" for discussion. DBM and lsearch (linear search)
# are included by default. LOOKUP_DNSDB does *not* refer to general mail
# routing using the DNS. It is for the specialist case of using the DNS as
# a general database facility (not common). For details of cdb files and the
# tools to build them, see
http://www.pobox.com/~djb/cdb.html.

# The TESTDB lookup is for performing tests on the handling of lookup
# results, and is not useful for general running. It should be included
# only when debugging the code of Exim.
# LOOKUP_TESTDB=yes
# Per-message logs: While a message is in the process of being delivered,
# comments on its progress are written to a message log, for the benefit of
# human administrators. These logs are held in a directory called "msglog"
# in the spool directory. Its mode defaults to 0750, but can be changed here.
# The message log directory is also used for storing files that are used by
# transports for returning data to a message's sender (see the "return_output"
# option for transports).
# MSGLOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
# Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid to
# a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the file can be
# specified here. It must contain precisely one occurrence of "%s". When
# a daemon is run on the default SMTP port, this is replaced with the null
# string, but when it is run with some explicit port specified, "%s" is
# replaced with the port number preceded by a dot. If a daemon is run with
# only one of -bd and -q<time>, then that option is added on to the end of
# the file name, allowing sites that run two separate daemons to distinguish
# them. Some installations may want something like this
# PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim%s.pid
# If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
# (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY below) with the name "exim-daemon.pid" for the standard
# daemon, or "exim-daemon.<port>.pid" for a daemon listening on a non-standard
# port. If you run a daemon that does not have both the -bd and -q options,
# then whichever of the two options it does have is added to the file name,
# whether obtained from PID_FILE_PATH or by default.
# If you set PID_FILE_PATH, then it is your responsibility to ensure that
# Exim is capable of writing to the relevant files. If you have defined
# EXIM_UID and EXIM_GID above, then that uid/gid combination must be able to
# create and write to the files. If the attempt to open the file fails, Exim
# just refrains from trying to write the data.
# The pid file path does not have to be set here; it can be also be set by an
# option in the runtime configuration file, which takes precedence over any
# setting here.
# Included routers: These variables determine which individual router drivers
# are included in the Exim binary. There are no defaults; those that are
# wanted must be defined here by setting the appropriate variables to the value
# "yes". The actions of each router are described in a separate chapter
# in the manual. Including a router in the binary does not cause it to
# be used automatically. It has also to be specified in the runtime
# configuration file. Those routers that are *not* wanted must not be defined
# here at all - comment them out.
ROUTER_DOMAINLIST=yes
ROUTER_IPLITERAL=yes
ROUTER_LOOKUPHOST=yes
ROUTER_QUERYPROGRAM=yes
# This one is very special-purpose, so is not included by default.
# ROUTER_IPLOOKUP=yes
# The spool directory: This directory is where all the data for messages in
# transit is kept. There is no default in the source, so its location must be
# defined in a local compile-time configuration file, or in the runtime
# configuration. It is recommended (but not mandatory) that you define it here
# if it is a fixed path, especially if you have not defined LOG_FILE_PATH. Log
# files are then written in a sub-directory of the spool directory, and it is
# helpful to have this defined right from the start of execution so that, for
# example, errors in reading the runtime configuration file can be logged.
# Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. If a non-root uid and
# gid have been defined for Exim (either in this configuration file, or by the
# runtime configuration options), then this directory and all sub-directories
# and their files will be created with their owners and groups set to Exim's
# uid and gid.
# Many installations will want something like this:
SPOOL_DIRECTORY=/var/spool/exim
# Others may prefer to keep all Exim things under one directory:
# SPOOL_DIRECTORY=/usr/exim/spool
# If Exim creates the spool directory, it is given this mode, defaulting in the
# source to 0750.
# SPOOL_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
# The mode of files on the input spool which hold the contents of message can
# be changed here. The default is 0600. If you have defined a uid and gid for
# Exim and want information from the spool to be available to anyone who is a
# member of the Exim group, change the value to 0640. This is particularly
# relevant if you are going to run the Exim monitor.
# SPOOL_MODE=0600
# If STDERR_FILE is defined then the -df command line option causes Exim to
# redirect stderr to the named file. This is useful for catching debugging
# output when starting Exim via inetd.
STDERR_FILE=/var/log/exim.stderr
# The appendfile transport can write messages as individual files in a number
# of formats. The code for two specialist formats, maildir and mailstore,
# is included only when requested by the following settings:
# SUPPORT_MAILDIR=yes
# SUPPORT_MAILSTORE=yes
# Included transports: These variables determine which individual transport
# drivers are included in the Exim binary. There are no defaults; those that
