Package: exim4
Version: 4.52-2
Severity: minor
dc_mailname_in_oh='true' appears in my update-exim4.conf.conf file,
but is not documented on the corresponding man page.
The following DEBCONF variables are also undocumented:
DEBCONFheaders_rewriteDEBCONF
DEBCONFreturn_pathDEBCONF
These appear in transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost
Probably because of that, I have the following uncertainties:
What is the relation between dc_hide_mailname and dc_readhost? Having
set dc_readhost, why is it necessary to set dc_hide_mailname as well?
Do they cover different rewrites?
Also, it looks as if dc_readhost sometimes appears to be the name of
the system, but that /etc/mailname from DEBCONFvisiblenameDEBCONF is
also trying to do this. What is their relation?
I think there are other undocumented DEBCONF variables (sorry, don't
remember them), and I think this raises the question how much
"internal" stuff needs to go on a man page, vs. comments in the files
at the point of use. I.e., maybe you're trying to do too much on the
man page. But some more info somewhere would be helpful.
