Hi,
Let me introduce myself as a new subscriber. I am one of the editors of
the linux from scratch(LFS) (
www.linuxfromscratch.org) books. Recently,
in order to test dovecot, I have built exim (release 4.87) as per the
BLFS instructions, which do not enable TLS. And I tried to set up
thunderbird to send email to my local accuont. thunderbird uses smtp
even on local host. I got errors, which I analyze as follows: Since

DKIM: Remove embedded copy of PolarSSL and use OpenSSL/GnuTLS library.
Bug 1192,
DKIM is not built by default, but only if TLS is enabled. However the
file "configure.default" still has
"control=dkim_disable_verify" in "acl_check_rcpt". This generates syntax
errors when trying to send a mail locally (and I guess remotely to, but
I have not checked that) through smtp, since "dkim_disable_verify" is
not in the list of allowed controls.
The workaround is just to comment out the lines containing
dkim_disable_verify, at least for my use case. But I'd say that a
default file should work just out of the box, or there should be a
comment telling to comment out the faulty lines if DKIM is not built.
I am too new to exim to know whether it could be fixed with an ${if...}
statement (or in another way).
Note: I have not found how to create an account to bugzilla for
reporting a bug, sorry.
Regards,
Pierre
