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 4.63 for this example. Change all occurances of 4.63 to the version you want to use.
wget ftp://mirror.direct.ca/pub/exim/exim/exim4/exim-4.63.tar.gz
tar xvzf exim-4.63.tar.gz
cd exim-4.63/Local
wget http://www.directadmin.com/Makefile
perl -pi -e 's/^EXTRALIBS/#EXTRALIBS/' Makefile
cd ..
make
make install
This will give you a new /usr/sbin/exim-4.63-1 binary which won't be what you want.. you'll need to rename it to /usr/sbin/exim:
cp -f /usr/sbin/exim-4.63-1 /usr/sbin/exim
chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/exim
Remember to restart exim after you're finished.
**Note: If you can't download the exim-4.63.tar.gz from the above link, just go to www.exim.org and find a different link there. It's the original source, unmodified by us, you can get it anywhere.
