Bug#379898: exim4-base: Could create cronjob to check paniclog

[Andrew Ferrier]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.62-1
Severity: wishlist

The exim4 specification recommends creating a cronjob to check that
paniclog is empty: (see third bullet point from the top)

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/spec_45.html

It would useful to have one of these shipped by Debian's exim4 by
default, probably installed into /etc/cron.d. Presumably it would email
root if the file wasn't empty.

Thanks,
Andrew.
