I cant seem to get my email fowarding to work The excim panic log contains this error

{${readfile{/etc/exim4/srs.conf}}} {$return_path} {$original_domain}}": “${srs_encode” is not a known operator (or a } is missing in a variable reference)
2023-07-13 04:28:11 1qJngl-000DPJ-2j == [email protected] [email protected] R=dnslookup T=remote_forwarded_smtp defer (-1): Failed to expand return path “${srs_encode {${readfile{/etc/exim4/srs.conf}}} {$return_path} {$original_domain}}”: “${srs_encode” is not a known operator (or a } is missing in a variable reference)

I opened srs.conf it has this in it only nl9aqkO15ypPd9nD guessing its some hash? Any help would be really appreciated. Its a brand new fresh install with nothing else on the VPS

Ubuntu 20.04 doesn’t support SRS

Make sure to use config https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/blob/main/install/deb/exim/exim4.conf.template

downloaded the .template file
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/main/install/deb/exim/exim4.conf.template -O /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

reinstalled exim4-daemon-heavy
restarted exim4 (sudo systemctl restart exim4)

still not forwarding :frowning:

Check your logs /var/log/exim4/mainlog

Debian 11 is not supported by SRS download Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12

I did try and to install SRS on debian 11 No luck (still errored). I reinstalled on Ubantu 22.04 - Works like a charm now. Thankyou so much. If I was the head man there is no way I would even try and support all the old OS out there. I just didnt know. Appreciated your help - It means a lot to me.

Actually, Exim 4.96 (with SRS support) can be installed on Debian11 via “bullseye-backports”:

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
aptitude -t bullseye-backports install exim4
