Bug#297841: exim4-config: Local rewrite stopped working after upgrade in sarge

[daniel]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.44-2
Severity: normal


After the recent upgrade in testing, exim started to try to deliver 
mail sent to local users though the smart host instead of doing a local 
delivery to /var/spool/mail as it used to. I tried to see why in 
the changelog, but failed. I don't think the NEWS message applies, since 
it's about rewriting From addresses, not routing (and anyway I use 
/etc/email-addresses, and that works fine).

I'm in no way expert in exim configuration, so maybe there's something 
wrong in my config (made with dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config). In any 
case, this is confusing, and a potential problem for sarge upgrades.
