My Exim does not support lookup features from MySQL, Redis, or PostgreSQL. How can I install these drivers? Please guide me.

  Hey there!  I'm not sure exactly what you're asking as Exim has no knowledge of database tools.  Can you let me know specifically what you're trying to do?

  I checked the Exim configuration on WHM using the command exim -bV and received the output: Lookups (built-in): lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmjz dbmnz dnsdb dsearch passwd sqlite. I did not find MySQL or Redis in this output, which indicates that Exim does not support lookup with MySQL. So, what should I do?

  While Exim itself does support MySQL lookups (https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-file_and_database_lookups.html#SECTsql and https://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_6.html) it isn't something that gets used in cPanel so we don't include that by default.
