Bug#617811: exim4 security update introduces new mode requirements for config file

[Ian Jackson]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.69-9+lenny4

I just did the exim4 security update and it broke my mail system
because of the new restrictions on the config file mode.

2011-03-11 15:49:23 Exim configuration file /etc/exim4/exim4.conf--sauce has the wrong owner, group, or mode

This is not a reasonable restriction.  If the file is in the right
place then exim4 ought to honour whatever permissions it has; anything
else is a stupid-band-aid.

Also this is not documented in the changelog nor exim4 manpage.

Ian.
