Hey there! Did you have a ticket open with our support team on this, or was that with your hosting provider?

In general, you can not directly edit the /etc/exim.conf file on a cPanel server, as that will be overwritten as part of the nightly update. You'll want to use the Advanced Editor section of WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager to apply your customizations, as outlined here:

Exim Configuration Manager | cPanel & WHM Documentation

Use the features in the Exim Configuration Manager interface to modify your Exim configuration.

docs.cpanel.net

Can you try adding the custom option through those tools and see if that works better for you?

Support registration for the team has been opened. 5 days passed for resolution. not resolved. is giving error. Does anyone know this? they have done before. currently inactive. It keeps giving an error after updating. simple code. I add it in vi /etc/exim.conf file. whm also does not work actively. I add whm it gives an error. why is it so silly? and pipeline I had no problems before. I guess the exim structure has changed after the last general update.

you can give me clear solution. I don't want to read articles anymore. If I'm going to read an article, why am I paying a support fee?

I can change to /etc/exim.conf and write to command line

hosts_avoid_pipelining = *

and not see to /etc/exim.conf


all you did was look at the article? I wrote the code it didn't work. Do you have the ability to fix it? I do not think so. Just send an article. I cannot add 1 code to your system. and it resets with every update. nonsense. cpanel support team is not responding for 7 days. there is no solution.

Hello afistan,

If you prefer using command line over the WHM to make changes in Exim, then you will have to use the /etc/exim.conf.local or /etc/exim.conf.localopts files to make the changes and run the script /scripts/buildeximconf to rebuilt the Exim configuration and followed with a restart of the service using /scripts/restartsrv_exim there.

I sent a screenshot from support. After the ssh registration, the change made in exim admin is not visible.

@afistan - there's a bit of confusion about how cPanel works here, so we'll need to start with clearing that up.

cPanel takes over many areas of the operating system, as well as configuration files. This ensures that we can apply updates across all services on the machine without interference from customizations. For example, you can not directly edit the Apache configuration on a cPanel server as the changes will be overwritten. This allows us to keep track of all the cPanel user data and configurations, as well as update the Apache service without fear of something becoming corrupt.

The same thing happens with Exim - you are not able to edit the configuration. The guide I link explains how you can make customizations to Exim, but they will never show up in the exim.conf file.

Does that help to clear things up? You'll need to do things "the cPanel way" in order to get your changes to work and stick you'll have to follow that system.

The second issue here, is that cPanel doesn't provide support for those types of customizations to Exim. You'll need to test them on your side and see if they work how you expect.

I hope that clears up the cPanel process for editing configurations on the machine, as this applies to *many* areas of the system.

I'm getting an error when adding code in the add code area for whm >> exim editing. I can't add code. I can only fix from ssh. You say that someone else will solve this without even listening to the end. Do I need to have the engine of the Tesla vehicle repaired at the Mercedes Service? Both use the same engine. do you think this makes sense? How is this support?
please locked this post. I did not get support and it is not resolved. thanks

@afistan - what error are you getting inside the WHM interface?
