Package: exim4
Version: 4.69-9
Severity: wishlist


Hello,

I've been using exim for quite a while, for servers and laptop, and I
always thought that exim4 was linked with libwrap to obey the
hosts.{deny|access} rules, but I just realized that I was absolutely
wrong.

Is it possible to link exim with the libwrap? I find it very convenient
for small system to be able to not expose port 25 to everybody.

thanks
graziano
