Connecting to Exim Using local_scan Function

Preparation of the system has several stages. First, you must recompile Exim with support of the local_scan function:

•Copy %bin_dir/doc/maild/local_scan/local_scan.c file to exim*/Local/ directory.

•To Makefile of Exim system, which is located in exim*/Local/ directory, add parameters specified in %bin_dir/doc/maild/local_scan/Makefile.sample. If the corresponding parameters are already specified in Makefile, you can uncomment and edit them.

•In Makefile of Exim system you must also specify the name of a user whose privileges are used to start Exim (the name must be the same as specified for Dr.Web MailD). User name is defined by the EXIM_USER parameter. By default, EXIM_USER = drweb.

•Compile and install Exim system. If the execution of make or make install commands is interrupted with error messages like:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgcc_s.so.1" not found, required by "libboost_thread.so"

then there are two possible ways to fix it:

ocopy libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 libraries (or make links with the same name to them) from %bin_dir/lib/ to the system library directory.

oexecute the following command from the console:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=%bin_dir/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and then compile and install Exim once again from the console.

After that, configure Exim system. For quick configuration you may use values of parameters from %bin_dir/doc/maild/local_scan/configure.sample file. Just copy the necessary lines to the local_scan section of the Exim configuration file.

To retrieve information on the Receiver settings, execute the following command from the console:

$ PATH_TO_BIN_DIR/exim -bP local_scan

where PATH_TO_BIN_DIR is the path to the Exim binaries.

In the Exim configure file, the following additional parameters can be set:
