hi there..

Im trying to install exim , dovecot, spamd, clamav with a virtual domain on Mysql and my Distro is Slackware 11

I read about it at:
http://struction.de/projects/HOWTO_VirtualMail_Exim-MySQL-Spamassassin-ClamAV-Dovecot/

and when I start exim say:
    2007-11-06 12:10:55 Exim configuration error in line 879 of /etc/exim/exim.conf:
      option "maildir_format" unknown
    exim: could not open panic log - aborting: see message(s) above


and this is my exim.conf script:
local_mysql_delivery:
  driver = appendfile
  directory = /var/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/
  maildir_format
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  user = mail
  group = mail
  mode = 0660Any idea of what's wrong???From bryan.rawlins@??? Tue Nov 06 15:32:43 2007

It appears that your copy of exim was not compiled with maildir support.

You'll have to recompile with that transport enabled in the local Makefile
