Hi!
The manpage of update-exim4.conf.conf states:
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
All lists given in configuration variables are
semicolon-separated. In the past, they used to be colon
separated. This was changed to semicolon separation to make
specification of IPv6 addresses easier. Backwards compatibility
is preserved, so that old configurations using colons as separa‐
tors do still work. Colons are deprecated and might stop working
in a later release. If you need to specifiy a single IPv6 address
in a field that are defined as a list of host names or IP
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
addresses, please prefix "<;" to explicitly specify the list
separator as a semicolon. Otherwise, the code cannot tell an IP
address from a colon-separated list of strange host names.
That should either read "in fields that are defined" or "in a field
that is defined".
Thanks. :)
Rhonda
