Edit the file
Warning:
- Any edits that you make directly to the
/etc/exim.conffile will only work temporarily. - Exim stores its default configuration in its override file,
/etc/exim.conf.local. The system uses the/etc/eim.conf.localfile to create the/etc/exim.conffile upon initialization. - You must use the Advanced Editor feature to make changes to your
/etc/exim.conf.localfile to make those changes permanent.
To edit the /etc/exim.conf file, perform the following steps:
-
Open the
/etc/exim.conffile with a text editor and locate the following lines:1 2 3 4 5 6remote_smtp: driver = smtp dkim_remote_smtp: driver = smtp -
Below each
driver = smtpline, add the following line:connection_max_messages = 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16remote_smtp: driver = smtp connection_max_messages = 1 interface = ${if exists {/etc/mailips}{${lookup{$original_domain}lsearch{/etc/ma helo_data = ${if exists {/etc/mailhelo}{${lookup{$original_domain}lsearch{/etc/m dkim_remote_smtp: driver = smtp connection_max_messages = 1 interface = ${if exists {/etc/mailips}{${lookup{$original_domain}lsearch{/etc/ma helo_data = ${if exists {/etc/mailhelo}{${lookup{$original_domain}lsearch{/etc/m dkim_domain = $sender_address_domain dkim_selector = default dkim_private_key = "/var/cpanel/domain_keys/private/${dkim_domain}" dkim_canon = relaxed
