Where do I put this in my config? My exim installation (on Debian
sarge) uses the /etc/conf.d/ directory configuration style. I don't
understand how the configuration files get patched together when I run
update-exim4.conf. All I know is that somehow they get conglomerated
into /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
I thought I did the right thing when I edited
conf.d/main/03_exim-4config_tlsoptions...
$ pwd
/etc/exim4
$ grep -ri pem *
conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions:tls_certificate =
/etc/ssl/certs/smtp.pem
conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions:tls_privatekey =
/etc/ssl/private/mail.cityairlines.net.key.nopass.pem
I'm bewildered. In order to help everyone see my actual config, I tar
-czf'ed my config into
http://cityairlines.net/conf.d.tgz
Can anyone tell what's wrong with my setup, and tell me how to fix it?
Wow, I really appreciate all the high quality help I've had so far.
Exim is very well supported by it's community. (Whether large or small,
it's the quality of the help that makes software usable or not, imho.)
