In this how-to, we'll outline how to install a fresh exim binary for your system. For compatibilities reasons, we'll make this a non-static binary, as since it's compiled right on your own system, you won't have any library issues.We'll use exim 4.76 for this example. Change all occurances of 4.76 to the version you want to use.wget
http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild/exim-4.77.tar.gztar xvzf exim-4.77.tar.gz
cd exim-4.77/Local
wget
http://www.directadmin.com/Makefileperl -pi -e 's/^EXTRALIBS/#EXTRALIBS/' Makefile
perl -pi -e 's/HAVE_ICONV=yes/HAVE_ICONV=no/' Makefile
cd ..
make
make install
This will give you a new /usr/sbin/exim-4.77-1 binary which won't be what you want.. you'll need to rename it to /usr/sbin/exim:cp -f /usr/sbin/exim-4.77-1 /usr/sbin/exim
chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/exim
Remember to restart exim after you're finished.
