Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.50-5
Severity: normal
I have just installed a Debian unstable machine and configured exim4 for
"mail sent by smarthost; no local mail". This has two weird effects
(which I don't think are the same as bug 297841): (Throughout this
message, I have replaced my domain with example.com.)
1. Mail to real-andrew is not delivered locally; instead, exim tries to
deliver to real-andrew@example.com. Since root is aliased to
real-andrew, this means that system messages are not delivered. The
debconf questions imply that real- mail should be delivered locally
even with "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail".
2. Mail to andrew@localhost fails with "451 Temporary local problem".
The log message looks bizarre:
2005-04-15 13:12:40 H=localhost [127.0.0.1]:33800 I=[127.0.0.1]:25 U=andrew F=<w@whitehouse.gov> temporarily rejected RCPT <andrew@localhost>: error in redirect data: domain missing or malformed in "andrew@"
I don't know where "andrew@" came from. I think that @localhost
mail should be delivered locally even with "mail sent by smarthost;
no local mail", especially since that's what fetchmail uses.
However, even if you want to reject such mail, the error status and
log message should probably made more clear.

exim4 (4.50-7) unstable; urgency=low

Barth on IRC. (mh)

(mh) Closes: #307370
- Clarify split-config description in README.Debian.
Thanks to Luc Saffre. (mh)
- Fix a typo in README.Debian-accountname, thanks to Brett Parker. (mh)
- Fix an issue in the exim manpage creating the illusion that
whitespace is allowed between -d and its options.
Thanks to Greg Kochanski. (mh) Closes: #309174
- Start re-work of README.Debian FAQ.
- Add "should -config depend on -base" question to README.Debian FAQ.
- Link README.Debian to -daemon-light and -daemon-heavy, include a
copy of README.Debian in -config.
Thanks to Daniel Maier. (mh) #Closes: 310118
* Translations
- Update: cy (Welsh) by Dafydd Harries. (mh) Closes: #306349
- New: vi (Vietnamese) by Clytie Siddall. (mh) Closes: #306613
- Fix typos in pt.po (Thanks, Miguel Figueire) (am) Closes: #310057
* Configuration Clarification
- move the regexps in the local part checks to macros, adapt docs.
Thanks to Adam M. Costello. (mh) Closes: #306094
* Bug Fixes
- preserve escape sequences like '\\N' in
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:
- use awk instead of sed in exim4-config.postinst (Thanks, Barry Kitson).
- use printf '%s\n' "$foo" instead of echo "$foo". (echo in dash would
swallow the second backslash)
- actually making this work requires changes in debconf, too,
see #306134.
- (Closes: #305957) (am)
- apply upstream patch from
http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20050425/msg00035.html
in some circumstances, exim writes parts of /etc/passwd and/or
/etc/group to the reject log. This scares people. (mh)
- apply upstream patch from
http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-dev/2005-April/msg00012.html to
only try SASL mechanisms that are actually specified in the
configurations. Thanks to Juergen Kreileder. (mh) Closes: #299743
- Build against libmysqlclient12-dev instead of libmysqlclient10-dev.
(am) Closes: #306970
- As "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail" aka satellite requires setting
dc_readhost always ask this question. (am) Closes: #304838
- Make nonsplit-config read /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros before
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template to allow macros her as well. (mh)
- Make it clear that "broken debconf" warning is issued by
exim4-config.postinst
- Make sure that "generated, do not touch" disclaimer in
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated always appears
- [exim4-config] As the.config script stores answers in debconf's db and the
postinst actually generates configurations files from these values
restarting the daemon on dpkg-reconfigure has to be done in postinst. (am)
