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). thx -fe
Created attachment 28944 [details] 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.
Created attachment 30862 [details, diff] localscan dlopen patch This patch allows exim to dynamically load sa-exim, so that sa-exim can be a seperate ebuild.
Created attachment 30863 [details] exim-4.32-r1 ebuild with dlopen support Ebuild that makes use of the dlopen patch
Created attachment 30865 [details] 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?

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).

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)?

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.
reassigning to maintainer-wanted
