Subject: [exim] Exim 2.05 to Exim 4.55
I have a machine on the latest version now and I am adding in the various
files we use.

I need help if possible.

We have 4 files we use and I would appreciate help integrating them.

Pop3.domains = a simple list (flat text file) of local domains
i.e
A.com
B.com
C.com

Pop3.aliases = a simple list (flat text file) of e-mails to pop boxes i.e
name@???:        popbox


Relay.nets = a simple list (flat text file) of networks allowed to relay
through the box i.e
1.2.3.0/24
2.3.4.5/32

Relay.domains
Domains allowed to relay.

Exim 2.05 config for these files is.

Pop3.aliases
local_domains = "pop:lsearch;/usr/local/exim/pop3.domains"

Pop3.domains
pop3:
domains = lsearch;/usr/local/exim/pop3.domains,
driver = smartuser;
new_address =
${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/usr/local/exim/pop3.aliases}{$value}fa
il}

pop3_wildcard:
domains = lsearch;/usr/local/exim/pop3.domains,
except_local_parts = "root:postmaster",
driver = smartuser;
new_address =
${expand:${lookup{*@$domain}lsearch{/usr/local/exim/pop3.aliases}{$value}fai
l}}

Relay.nets
sender_net_accept_relay = /usr/local/exim/relay.nets

Relay.domains
relay_domains = partial-lsearch;/usr/local/exim/relay.domain


HOW DO THESE TRANSLATE INTO THE LATEST RELEASE

Humm, I don't even remember having used exim 2.05. Are you sure it isn't a
typo?

Honestly, if you are still using 2.05, you should really consider upgrading.
And, no, it won't upgrade easily, you will have to rewrite the config from
scratch. But, really, it is worth upgrading.
As far as I can see, version 2.05 has a release date in 1998
(http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-19981005/009411.html),
this probably means your servers have this age and you will see huge
improvements by upgrading on newer hardware and reliability will probably
improve too as your current servers are "very" old.
