Description
When configuring with exim, since the addresses used by og2list are not real system users, if the exim has "verify = recipeint" in it's ACL for RCPT (which many distributions will), it is neccessary to add the following before it:
# og2list
accept condition = \
${run{OG2LIST_HOME/valid-recipient.pl $local_part}{1}{0}}
endpassThis causes the valid-recipient.pl to be fired to check if the address is a drupal og2list address before it is rejected as an invalid recipient.
#1
Another modification to the exim documentation for INSTALL --
install MAIL::Verp
should be changed to
install Mail::Verp
it appears as if cpan is case sensitive.
Thanks!

Addiitonally, the line:
install DBI
should come *before*
install DBD::mysql
I think that DBD::mysql needs DBI to be installed before it can be installed.
[At least this is what I found on my system.]
Thanks, everyone.

Also, I've gotten the errors
2006-08-09 18:08:04 Exim configuration error in line 584 of /usr/local/etc/exim/configure:
missing "=" after debug_print
2006-08-09 18:08:56 Exim configuration error in line 675 of /usr/local/etc/exim/
configure:
group og2list was not found
I've solved these errors by
(1) adding an equals sign after debug_print in the exim configure file
and
(2) making sure that user og2list was in the group called og2list
[Still trying to make my system work ;-) ]
Thanks everyone for your efforts here...

#4
Here's a small patch that takes care of a couple of minor documentation issues for exim.INSTALL, most of which I have listed above:
(1) Using cpan, DBI installation should happen before DBD::mysql , I believe. [When I tried to install it in the reverse order as recommended by the install instructions, DBD::mysql would not install]
(2) MAIL::Verp should become Mail::Verp
(3) Missing "equals sign" after debug_print caused Exim parsing error with Exim 4.62 [some one might want to check this]
(4) The database server and name of database comments were reversed.
Hope this is helpful!
Best wishes,
Albert

The patch didnt seem to apply for me. When applied to a fresh checkout of exim.install all 4 hunks failed.
