Backup Exim Configuration

Posted on April 26th, 2019

 

We all are familiar with the name EXIM, it is a mail transfer agent which is included with cPanel. We can configure the EXIM from WHM interface itself. There are certain setting we need to edited on our exim configuration to make EXIM functional according to our requirement. For example if we wish to relay emails through anti-spam software like Mailchannel etc we need to add some configuration settings on the EXIM configuration. By default, Exim sends mails from the server primary IP address we can configure Exim to send mails from each domains dedicated IP address by  adding some settings on the same. So while doing all these stuff initially before making changes we need to take a backup of the exim configuration files and if anything wrong happens we can easily restore the Exim configuration with those backups. We can save the backup either on the server itself or  you can download the same to local backup using the Exim Configuration Manager. Also we can use this option to clone the Exim configuration setting we have configured on one of the server to another by taking the backup of the exim configuration and restoring the same to all the needed systems.

You can access the Exim configuration from
