Bug#291037: exim4 4.43-3 fails to send mail after upgrade from 4.34-10 (syntax error)

[Nicolas STRANSKY]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.34-10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I've had to downgrade exim4 from 4.43-3 to previous 4.34-10 since 4.43-3 failed to send
any mail with the following error :

2005-01-18 11:11:42 1CqqKs-0006nZ-51 == nico@neo-lan.net R=smarthost
T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-1): Failed to expand return path "${if
match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{+local_domains}{${sender_address_local_part}@neo-lan.net}${if
match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{aneto.local.lan}{${sender_address_local_part}@neo-lan.net}fail}}":
syntax error in "if" item - "fail" expected

I made no particular changes in the configuration during or after the
dist-upgrade.

Regards,
