squirrelmail using exim

[txa01]

Hello All,

I have been recently requested to provide a webmail interface to my users email. Running RH Enterprise 3... I'm currently using exim for the MTA... where do I go about configuring squirrelmail to use exim?
I don't seem to have a squirrelmail config script anywhere on my box (not that I know of). Is there a specific line in my squirrelmail php files that i can change to use exim instead of sendmail? I can log into squirrelmail but when I try to send or receive my recipient gets no mail...

thanks!

If you read the install docs and run the configure script, it will work fine with exim. :)

When I was setting it up I noticed the absence of my config script... where should this be located by default on the rhes3 servers?

I just did a find / conf.pl......

find: conf.pl: No such file or directory

I am trying to set this up using the files provided on the server.

thanks!:thanks:

If squirrelmail was installed as an RPM then you can do this to list all the files in the package and find the conf.pl:

# rpm -ql squirrelmail | grep conf.pl

If conf.pl is missing then you have an incomplete squirrelmail installation.

I was just using the files provided by default on my server... I just downloaded the tar.gz from freshmeat... extracted.. moved conf.pl into my squirrelmail directory... configured it... now when I try and send an email I get

Syntax error in parameters or arguments
Server replied: 501 <tanderso@>: domain missing or malformed

It's a step in the right direction I think!

When running the conf.pl, under server settings I was givin 2 choices sendmail or smtp... I just chose SMTP since I did not see an Exim choice...

Sending / Recieving works fine via client based email applications...

Even though sendmail is not installed, all common UNIX MTAs provide a binary named "sendmail" for compatibility. You can still use the sendmail option with Exim installed. This may fix the problem with the missing domain, or you need to configure squirrelmail to append the domain if it is not there.

Where can I configure SqurrilMail to append the domain?

I tested it with sendmail option... it doesnt give an error when I send a mail... but my recipient never receives the mail.
