Hi all

Just in case anyone wants to get Scalix and Exim working on the same box this is how I did it, with help from the forums. This was using FC5 and Scalix 11B2

Modify /var/opt/scalix/f5/s/sys/unix.mapper and change the transport-service to;

/usr/sbin/sendmail.exim -bs

modify /var/opt/scalix/f5/s/sys/smptd.cfg. I added these lines;

LISTEN=10.0.0.12:26,127.0.0.1:26

Where 10.0.0.12 is the IP address of my test rig.

Note the LISTEN_PORT does not work. Restart scalix and it will listen on port 26

In Exim (I assume you already have this working) create a router;

smart_route2:
driver = manualroute
domains = your.domain.here #put your own domain here
route_list = * 10.0.0.12
transport = remote_smtp2
self = send

Make sure this router is in the right order to capture your local mail (order matters)

and my transport;

remote_smtp2:
driver=smtp
port = 26

Obviously you can call these routers/transports what you want this just fitted in with my testing rig.

Restart Exim and try sending mail, it worked for me.

Great work, thanks for the information!
I will give it a go when I am back at work again.

Just one small tip, my path /var/opt.... appears to be different from a colleague of mine so it might be different on yours.

As long it only concerns such constants ... ;-)

Tip: You can use

Code: Select all

omrealpath "~/sys"


to determine the location of the sys directory in the Scalix mailstore.
