    \n
    Warning:<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    • Any edits that you make directly to the \/etc\/exim.conf<\/code> file will only<\/strong> work temporarily.<\/li>\n
    • Exim stores its default configuration in its override file, \/etc\/exim.conf.local<\/code>. The system uses the \/etc\/eim.conf.local<\/code> file to create the \/etc\/exim.conf<\/code> file upon initialization.<\/li>\n
    • You must<\/strong> use the Advanced Editor<\/em> feature to make changes to your \/etc\/exim.conf.local<\/code> file to make those changes permanent.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      To edit the \/etc\/exim.conf<\/code> file, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Open the \/etc\/exim.conf<\/code> file with a text editor and locate the following lines:\n<\/p>\n

        \n
        \n\n\n
        \n
        1\n<\/span>2\n<\/span>3\n<\/span>4\n<\/span>5\n<\/span>6\n<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n

      2. \n
        Below each driver = smtp<\/code> line, add the following line:<\/p>\n
        connection_max_messages = 1\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
