I used to enable SRS in exim via the experimental extension (EXPERIMENTAL_SRS_ALT). AFAIK, since 4.94, there also is a native SRS option for exim (which you can turn on using SUPPORT_SRS=YES in the Makefile). After upgrading to exim 4.95, I have the weird situation, that exim still is linked to libsrs_alt (which is only needed for the experimental extension) but exim no longer recognizes the SRS-related options in the config file: 2021-12-29 08:42:11 Exim configuration error in line 49 of /usr/local/etc/exim/configure: main option "srs_config" unknown However, if I try to use the syntax for the native SRS-stuff exim does not understand that either. (I followed the examples under section 5 here: https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-dkim_spf_srs_and_dmarc.html): 2021-12-29 08:27:58.281 [13483] 1n2UJR-0003VQ-2v failed to expand condition "${if inbound_srs {$local_part} {}}" for inbound_srs_failure router: unknown condition "inbound_srs" So, somehow SRS support got borked. From the FreeBSD Makefile, it still looks as if the old, experimental extension were used, but clearly does not work as is. For the time being, I reverted to 4.94.

(In reply to Dima Panov from comment #1) Thank you!! Works very well. The native module is now active and its syntax recognized. I also checked it works as advertised. :-)

Hi guys, is it possible to keep the older SRS as an additional option. The reason it stopped working for the original reporter is they changed the syntax. So the correct Makefile snippet is with ALT at end. LIB_DEPENDS+= libsrs_alt.so:mail/libsrs_alt SEDLIST+= -e 's,XX_SRS_FLAGS_XX,-DEXPERIMENTAL_SRS_ALT,' \ -e 's,XX_SRS_LIBS_XX,-L${LOCALBASE}/lib -lsrs_alt,' The reason for my request is that the new native srs has completely different syntax and is currently not compatible with my exim config templates.
