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
-provided "exim.Makefile" will build an all-purpose Exim daemon with almost
-all of the features that will work on a standard Slackware system.
+provided "exim.Makefile" will build an all-purpose Exim daemon with the
+most common features. 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.
