 ====== Exim4 - Install Exim4 Complete ======
+Our mail server supports virtual accounts using the MySQL database (enable set like MySQL, I spoke here ), SMTP-authentication and secure connection TLS / SSL.
+To use TLS / SSL create a certificate.
 <code bash>
-mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs # cd /etc/ssl/certs # openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout mail.pem -out mail.pem \ ? -days 9999 -nodes
+mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs
+cd /etc/ssl/certs
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout mail.pem -out mail.pem \ ? -days 9999 -nodes
 </code>
+<WRAP alert>
+Less than 9999 days exist before the Unix / Linux 32-bit date wrap-around occurs.

+<code bash>
+Country Name (2 letter code) [CA]:
+State or Province Name (full name) [Quebec]:
+Locality Name (eg, city) [Montreal]:
+Organization Name (eg, company) [Open Network Architecture]:
+Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [Internet Department]:
+Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:
+Email Address []:
+</code>
+Fills as your heart desires (because you're not going to pay for the certificate), except for the string **Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []**.  Here you need to enter the name of our server:
+<code bash>
+Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []: sharewiz.net
+</code>
+In the directory **/etc/ssl/certs** appeared certificate file mail.pem, which in the future we will use for the secure connection to our mail server.  We carry on this file two more opertsii:
+<code bash>
+chmod 440 /etc/ssl/certs/mail.pem
+chgrp mail /etc/ssl/certs/mail.pem
+</code>
+The certificate is over, now the loans directly to Exim.
+For Exim we need a non-privileged user that belongs to the group mail.  Create it.
+<code bash>
+pw useradd exim -c "Exim" -d /var/spool/mqueue -s /sbin/nologin -g mail
+exit
+cat /etc/passwd | grep exim -d /var/spool/mqueue -s /sbin/nologin -g mail
+exit
+cat /etc/passwd | pw useradd exim -c "Exim" -d /var/spool/mqueue -s /sbin/nologin -g mail
+exit
+cat /etc/passwd | grep exim
+pw useradd exim -c "Exim" -d /var/spool/mqueue -s /sbin/nologin -g mail
+exit
+cat /etc/passwd | grep exim exim:*:1003:6:Exim:/var/spool/mqueue/:/sbin/nologin mqueue /:/sbin/nologin
+</code>
+The last command we find that your account has exim uid = 1003, and gid = 6.  These data we need in the configuration.
+Pick the latest version of **Exim** (as of this writing - 4.50) from site www.exim.org.  Do not take the earlier version.  This is due to the fact that, since version 4.50, previously separately existing patch **exiscan-acl** is integrated in the source code.
