Bug#432521: exim4-config: Relaying broken: MAIN_RELAY_DOMAINS != MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS

[Ben Wheeler]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.67-5
Severity: important

Hi there,
Not sure how long this has been broken, but I just spotted that my
backup MX was no longer relaying for my domains. 

Tried dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. Got confused by the fact that
it asks for semicolon separated lists when mine were colon-separated.
Tried both ways. Still no dice.

After faffing around for a bit, I found that 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated contains:
.ifndef MAIN_RELAY_DOMAINS
MAIN_RELAY_DOMAINS=<; qolc.net;life.eu.org;wuzware.com;quextal.com
.endif

However, /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs
and /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
contain
domainlist relay_to_domains = MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS

So there seems to be an inconsistency in the naming of this macro.

Changing MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS to MAIN_RELAY_DOMAINS in the /etc/exim4 files
and restarting seems to have fixed relaying for me. No idea if this is
the "right" solution though...

I've put this as 'important' because it broke a previously functional
backup MX or relay, with no errors from exim on startup warning about
the undefined macro.

Regards,
Ben Wheeler
