That's interested
I added the line
smtp_banner = TEST BLAH FOO BAR MOOF

restarted exim
root@Kesh:/etc/exim4# /etc/init.d/exim4 restart
Stopping MTA for restart:.
Restarting MTA: exim4.

Then telnet

root@Kesh:/etc/exim4# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 Kesh.com ESMTP Exim 4.65 Wed, 16 May 2007 10:55:10 -0700
quit
221 Kesh.com closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
root@Kesh:/etc/exim4#                        


Doesn't look like it took. So I added a garbage line just under the
smtp_banner and restarted exim to see if it's even using the conf file and
got this.

root@Kesh:/etc/exim4# /etc/init.d/exim4 restart
Stopping MTA for restart:2007-05-16 10:56:42 Exim configuration error in line

So it looks like it's getting the right file. Is it possible that it's parsing
more than one conf file ?
