I am an admittedly huge zealot for the Debian way of doing things...
But, don't let that cloud you judgment here.
I am using exim v4.30 with exiscan compiled in (exim4-daemon-heavy) from
the debian repositories. Recently Andreas Metzler and Marc Haber made a
truly remarkable change to the way the Exim Config is handled in Debian.
Instead of having one huge monolithic config file, with which I
sometimes get corn-fused as to exactly where I am in the file, I have a
"conf.d" directory with more directories such as:
acl, auth, main, retry, rewrite, router, transport
Possibly could be more or less as well. But each of those Directories
have files like (this is the list of files in router):
00_exim4-config_header
100_exim4-config_domain_literal
200_exim4-config_primary
300_exim4-config_real_local
350_exim4-config_spamcheck
400_exim4-config_system_aliases
500_exim4-config_hubuser
600_exim4-config_userforward
700_exim4-config_maildrop
800_exim4-config_procmail
900_exim4-config_local_user
970_exim4-config_catchall_otherdom
970_exim4-config_catchall_somedom
mmm_mail4root
Example of 970_exim4-config_catchall_otherdom:
otherdom_catch:
driver = redirect
data = dork@???
domains = otherdom.com
Example of 350_exim4-config_spamcheck
# SpamAssassin
spamcheck_router:
no_verify
check_local_user
# When to scan a message :
# - it isn't already flagged as spam
# - it isn't already scanned
condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq
{$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}}} {1}{0}}"
driver = accept
transport = spamcheck
And so on... I have added some routers (similar to the displayed ones)
to one of my more lighty used machines... just so the idea isn't foggy.
I really like having the ability to manage things more easily.
I can add a transport with a useful name in it and run the config
update... which BTW does make the Monolithic config for exim4... just
hat it is compiled from the small config files.
I really like this idea, I have even began to use it for my Apache
configs too... makes the whole thing much more easily maintainable.
I would ask that if Andreas and/or Marc could expand on my request, I
would be very happy about that.
Clarifications needed? You know I am subscribed! :)
