Bug#276016: /usr/sbin/exim4: exim4-daemon-heavy: /etc/email-addresses is not used

[Jari Aalto]

Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.34-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/exim4

File /etc/email-addresses announces following at the top of file:

    # This is /etc/email-addresses. It is part of the exim package
    #
    # This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail. Any local
    # part not in here will be qualified by the system domain as normal.
    ...

However, defining alises here does not have any effect:

    # exim4 -brw loginnname
    No rewrite rules are defined

Judging from the /etc/exim4/conf.d/rewrite/31_exim4-config_rewriting
it appears that the support has been commented out:

    # This rewriting rule is particularily useful for dialup users who
    # don't have their own domain, but could be useful for anyone.
    # It looks up the real address of all local users in a file
    #*@+local_domains ${lookup{${local_part}}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
    #                   {$value}fail} Ffrs

I think the lines should be active to make use of /etc/email-addresses
feature.
