Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-1
Severity: minor

Possible problem with the QUEUERUNNER='ppp' option:
The user goes on line and the queue is run.
After a queue run is over, he say does update-exim4.conf, then tries to
send a mail:
12:46:11 End queue run: pid=11691 -qqf
12:49:04 1BcdDU-0003HH-3V <= jidanni@jidanni.org U=jidanni P=local S=429 id=40D7BA40.nail9Q211922C@jidanni1
12:49:04 1BcdDU-0003HH-3V == jidanni@bigggfoot.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host

He must run the queue again manually, even though we're still online.

Maybe the problem occurs if I didn't do a update-exim4.conf too.

This bug report is _very_ unclear. Please try to make yourself
understandable in the future.

That's a feature.

/etc/default/exim4:
# 'combined' -   one daemon running queue and listening on SMTP port
# 'no'       -   no daemon running the queue
# 'separate' -   two separate daemons
# 'ppp'      -   only run queue with /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4.
# 'nodaemon' - no daemon is started at all.
# 'queueonly' - only a queue running daemon is started, no SMTP listener.
# setting this to 'no' will also disable queueruns from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4
QUEUERUNNER='combined'

ppp _only_ runs queue from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4.

Judging from the ip-up.d script, the queue is force-run on an upcoming
ppp connection _unless_ QUEUERUNNER is 'no'. So you will probably
reach the intended behavior by using 'combined', 'separate' or
'queueonly' here.

Closing the bug. Please feel free to re-open if I have misunderstood
you.

Greetings
Marc
