Validate Exim configure file syntax

Request

This function evaluates and validates an Exim configuration file's syntax.

Note:

On servers that run CentOS 7, you may see a named warning about the absence of SPF resource records on DNS.

  • This warning is not relevant on CentOS 7 servers, because RFC 7208 deprecated SPF records. CentOS 7 servers use TXT records instead of SPF records.
  • Red Hat 7.1 and CentOS 7.1 both contain bind-9.9.4-23.el7, which is an updated version of BIND that complies with RFC 7208. To resolve this issue, update your operating system to a version that contains the updated version of BIND. For more information, read the Red Hat Bugzilla case about SPF record errors.
Security
BasicAuth
Query
cfg_textstring(HTML)

The Exim configuration file's raw text.

Note:

If you do not use this parameter, the function will analyze Exim's current configuration.

Example: cfg_text=RAW_CONFIGURATION_TEXT
sectionstring

The Exim configuration file's section to check.

Note:

If you use this parameter, pass only the desired section to validate as the cfg_text value.

Example: section=acl
whmapi1 --output=jsonpretty \
  validate_exim_configuration_syntax

Responses

HTTP Request was successful.

Bodyapplication/json
dataobject

An object containing a valid or invalid Exim configuration information.

Any of:

The function returns this object for an invalid Exim configuration.

(Deprecated) Disable SNI mail services for domainsDeprecated

Request

This function is deprecated and always fails.

Note:

Mail SNI is always enabled. cPanel & WHM no longer allows mail SNI to be disabled.

  • Functions that disable Mail SNI fail and make no changes.
  • Functions that enable Mail SNI succeed with a warning that Mail SNI is always enabled.
Security
BasicAuth
Query
domainstring

The account's domain. You may pass multiple domains using additional numbered parameters (e.g., domain-1, domain-2).

Note: This parameter has no effect — this function always fails regardless of any input because mail SNI can no longer be disabled.

Example: domain=example.com
whmapi1 --output=jsonpretty \
  disable_mail_sni \
  domain='example.com'

HTTP Request was successful.
