Hello,

Yes, I now that. I had a stable update pending for the latest point
release but I pulled it because there needed to be DSA for CVE-2023-42114,
CVE-2023-42115, CVE-2023-42116 at basically the same time.

I would appreciate if you could check whether
https://salsa.debian.org/exim-team/exim4/-/tree/12_bookworm?ref_type=heads
works for you.
