What changes have you made? Because the error says that there is an .endif missing in the conf.

The same for your other post, if you don’t show what you did…

cat -A /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template | nc termbin.com 9999

And show the url you will get to view your Exim conf.

root@portal ~ # cat -A /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template | nc termbin.com 9999
https://termbin.com/1mos
root@portal ~ #
root@portal ~ #

You have the same problem, you need to convert it to unix format.

cd /etc/exim4/
dos2unix exim4.conf.template
systemctl restart exim4
