Configuration error for "on_success"

[Ahmet YAZICI]

Hello,

I'm using a gateway appliance which uses exim as mail router. I need to
compile exim and i don't have manufacturer's editme file.. when i compile
exim and try to start up, it says:

2009-07-06 09:49:58 Exim configuration error in line 434 of /etc/exim.conf:
  option "on_success" unknown


Which build option do i need to turn on to start exim successfully?

Thanks

Not a clue.  The string "on_success" (without the quotes) does not exist
in the current exim source or documentation tree.

Your config file is not a valid exim config.

I can imagine that the "private" edition used on the appliance
is patched to understand "on_success" - may be you can check the
output of ``exim -bP all'' or ``exim -bP transports'' or ``exim
-bP routers''.

May be you can post some snippet of your config around line 434.

These come from a private patch to Exim.  Putting "Exim on_success" into
a web search-engine yielded:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/exim-users@.../msg15343.html

(and your question, pushing that down the rankings).

The patches weren't posted, that I can see, but were written by Tom
Kistner for his employer.

Since Exim is GPL'd, you can ask the gateway appliance vendor for the
patches (or at least, for the source of the the Exim they distribute).

Failing that, you should look at what the on_success option is
configured to do and decide if you need that functionality; if not, you
could just comment out those directives.  You can use
  exim -C /path/to/candidate/exim.conf -bV
to do a rough pass over the config file for sanity.
