Hi. I want to customize in Exim configuration the "delay_unknown_hosts" parameter. I can't change it in "Advanved Exim Congiruation Manager", so I read that I can do it modifying exim.conf.local... My question is : Can someone help me how to change the delay seconds in this file ? How is the syntax? Thanks

  Hello, One workaround would be to setup a cron job to automatically replaces all instances of "delay = 20s" to "delay = XXs" in the /etc/exim.conf file. Here's an example of the commands you could use in a custom script configured to run on a cron job:
  replace "delay = 20s" "delay = 15s" -- /etc/exim.conf /scripts/restartsrv_exim
  You could also set up the script to run after each cPanel update using the proof of concept example on the following post: /scripts/upcp does not display output from postupcp Thank you.

  Thaks for your response, but I wonder to make the modifications into exim.conf.local, because in Cpanel documentation recommends modify this file for custom configuration ....

  Hello, This file is only for the options available under the "Basic Editor" in "WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager". Thank you.
