To check what version your server is running, run:
- Code: Select all
/usr/sbin/exim -bV
You're safe if any of the following is true:
- The version is 4.70 or later;
- The build date is Friday 10th December 2010 or later;
- It says "No such file or directory" (i.e. you don't run exim).

That is because -bv != -bV (man says that -bv is also a valid switch - just for something else).

D'oh. good spot. Ok, so -bV also says 4.69, not 4.70 or later, but I'm assuming this is still ok.tnnn wrote:That is because -bv != -bV
It's in uppercase; V's just not one of those letters that makes it obvious.tnnn wrote:Sorry, maybe I was a bit unclear. When you copy it (either by ctrl+c or "select all" option) it works fine as it copies V as it should be - in uppercase. However, if you are too lazy to use the copy function and just type it by hand, you will probably type it incorrectly because [ code ] displays it in lowercase.
