Bug#446346: exim4-config: Bit me too

[Ben Wheeler]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.68-1
Followup-For: Bug #446346

Just to say it wasn't only the initial reporter of this bug that got
bitten. I haven't been getting any root mail (eg cronjobs) since upgrading
to this version; I have
root: real-ben
in /etc/aliases. Doing that is supposed to avoid any problems caused
by dodgy configuration! :)

I didn't get any bounced mail, but I've got a long queue of frozen
messages. 

The fix given above seems to work. 

This episode has raised an interesting point. It took me a couple of days 
to realise that mail had dried up and check the paniclog. Mail going down
is the one thing you won't be mailed about. So I've added
mail.err                        *
to /etc/syslog.conf in the hope that I won't be left in the dark
about it in future. Now I have to find out why the paniclog isn't 
being rotated otherwise it'll be bugging me every day...

Ben
