Before you can build Exim, you have to create an "exim" user and group: - # groupadd -g 222 exim - # useradd -d /var/spool/exim -g exim -s /bin/false -u 222 exim + + # groupadd -g 222 exim + # useradd -d /var/spool/exim -g exim -s /bin/false -u 222 exim + The recommended uid/gid is 222, but others are fine if you prefer - see http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt for other recommendations. There's no "configure" script; instead Exim is configured by editing a well documented Makefile, which is then included during the build process.

The various database lookup methods will not be +built by default but can be enabled easily by uncommenting a few lines in +the Makefile. Exim can be integrated with other email tools such as Clamav, Spamassassin, Bogofilter, and others available at Slackbuilds.org. |
