Exim Open to Internet (Port 25)

Hi,

I've got Debian installed on a box here and Exim hanging out on port
25... open to the internet. I'm going to iptables it off in a week or
so, however how do I get Exim to just hangout locally instead?

Ah, upon testing this it appears to have not worked :(

# listen on all all interfaces?
..ifdef MAIN_LOCAL_INTERFACES
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
..else
DEBCONFlistenonpublicDEBCONF
..endif

Is this right?

Yeah it looks good to me but it just doesn't appear to pick the settings :(

Is there any command lines I need to run to update this? I'm on Debian BTW.

You have to run update-exim4.conf and restart exim after that.

Hi there,

Nothing I did seemed to work in terms of directly editing the configs.

However, in the end, as I'm on debian I dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
where it explicitly asked me what I wanted to do with the interfaces and
solved it that way. This might be of use to someone else in the same
situation. Thanks for the help anyway guys!

Maybe you should take a look at the specific docs for the "debianized"
exim in /usr/share/doc.
