Hi,

as I was modifying my exim-ebuild to additionally patch exim for sa-exim I found a typo in line 68

                -e "s:# SUPPORT_MAILSTOR=yes:SUPPORT_MAILSTORE=yes:" \
should be
                -e "s:# SUPPORT_MAILSTORE=yes:SUPPORT_MAILSTORE=yes:" \

In addition to this, I'd like to request a update for the ebuild to support exim build with sa-exim. Unfortunatly I don't have any experience in writing ebuild so I give some short instructions, what needs to be done to have exim build with sa-exim-support.
(sa-exim homepage http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/sa.html)
1. 3 Files from the source of http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/files/sa-exim-current.tar.gz are needed
  sa-exim.c
   - I modified my sa-exim.c in line 74 and modified SPAMASSASSIN_CONF manually
     but that can be done with an additional parameter to make (see INSTALL))
  sa-exim.h   (If sa-exim.h is rebuild "version" and the makefile are also needed, but that could be done if a patch is build once, as it stays the same)
  sa-exim.conf

2. "overiron" ${S}/src/local_scan.c  with sa-exim.c
3. move/copy sa-exim.h to to ${S}/src/
4. start src_compile
5. in src_install copy the sa-exim.conf file to the right location (/etc/exim ?)

well, I guess that should be all. Make sure to read the INSTALL and README in the distribution. sa-exim provides a couple of really good features which exiscan-acl do not support for spam-scanning but the combination of both is probably the best solution (IMHO).

exim-4.21 ebuild with sa-exim support

This ebuild worked on different hosts for me. It builds exim with sa-exim
support.
Please add this small update to the exim-ebuilds.

SA-exim is a spamassassin-implementation for exim with a lot of good features
which exiscan-acl's do not support (greylisting, tarpits, different
drop-mail-but-save-here features which are good for sa-learn for example and of
course report_safe and rewrite_subject do work with sa-exim).

For more infos have a look at
 http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/sa.html

Thx

Added typo fix, working on the sa option

It would be better to use the dlopen patch, and have sa-exim as a seperate
ebuild.  The latest dlopen patch is available at
http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/sa.html.

localscan dlopen patch

This patch allows exim to dynamically load sa-exim, so that sa-exim can be a
seperate ebuild.

Ebuild that makes use of the dlopen patch

ebuild for sa-exim (dlopen)

Here is an ebuild for sa-exim.	It requires a localscan_dlopen patched version
of exim.

What happened to this one?

exim-4.43-r1.ebuild

I don't know...seems pretty frozen... anyway, since I keep using this setup
I've got working ebuilds with exim-dlopen-patch and sa-exim. I add my
exim-4.43-r1 and sa-exim-4.1 ebuild here which are working for me

dlopen patch will be in the next release of the exim ebuild (4.43-r2),
I need to find someone to test the sa-exim ebuild before it goes in the tree.

I've done some quick tests, because I don't have the time for more at the
moment.

The sa-exim ebuild compiles quite fine, *if* you have got lynx installed on
your box, because the upstream Makefile depends on it (it's downloading
acknowledgements and changelog files). Solutions that came to my mind:

 1) DEPEND on lynx (any version should suffice)
 2) Create a patch for the Makefile, to make it use wget instead
 3) Squeeze the Makefile through sed and convert it to wget
 4) Get the required files before running the Makefile, so make won't rebuild
them.

I couldn't test whether sa-exim itself works afterwards, since (if I understood
that right) that would need the dlopen patched exim, and I've got some trouble
creating the digests for the 4.43-r1 ebuild (and that's where I decided, okay,
no time, stop it for today).

But I'd suggest adding the sa-exim ebuild to the official tree, because it
works (if you maybe add a dependency for spamassassin ;) and there are much
worse ebuilds in the tree.

you had problems with the digests for -r1? how did you retrieve it?

(could you test with -r2, it's already patched with dlopen, and should be available in the tree.)

Ah, my fault.

I was using the bugzilla attachment from #9. Didn't even look into the tree. Stupid.

Now it works fine, although sa-exim should put a default configuration to /etc/exim/sa-exim.conf (the upstream one seems to fit).

mail-filter/sa-exim-4.2.ebuild

Mass re-assign, maintainer to whom this bug was assigned seems inactive. 

I renamed the mail-filter/sa-exim-4.2.ebuild to
mail-filter/sa-exim-4.2.1.ebuild and successfully installed and used it with my
ancient mail-mta/exim-4.50-r1 install. I assume newer releases of exim work
too.

Are there any reasons why sa-exim is not accepted in the portage tree? Is it
the crazy requirement for lynx (or links in case of sa-exim-4.2.1)?

This ebuild does not compile for me.  I'm using x86_64, perhaps that has
something to do with it?

I managed to get this to build by adding -fPIC like the compiler error
suggested..

Does anyone know if this still works with exim-4.67?

(In reply to comment #25)
> Does anyone know if this still works with exim-4.67?

Yes it does.  I've been using the ebuild locally from this post for several
years on several corporate sites - x86 only though and no x86_64.  Two of them
are at 4.67 with SA 3.1.8-r1.

Cheers
Jon

As I'm not going to get a chance to get this tested (as I have nothing to
really test it against), I'm going to have to re-assign this to the net-mail
herd, hopefully someone there will take it on.

I've been using 4.2.1 for years (~4.5) now on >20 systems that route something
like 10,000 emails per day (all x86).

I can confirm that it at least compiles on amd64 with -r1.

ok, who is willing to maintain this ebuild through me as proxy?

It seems like exim-4.71 should be pretty much in shape (dlopen patch is in
there) to just handle this for people that prefer more control than exiscan_acl
can give them.
