[Pkg-exim4-users] main option bounce_message_file doesn't, work with Exim4 in Debian

[Bruno CAPELETO]

Hi Marc,

It shows up in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated :

...

.ifndef MAIN_FREEZE_TELL
MAIN_FREEZE_TELL = postmaster
.endif
freeze_tell = MAIN_FREEZE_TELL

bounce_message_file = /etc/exim4/bouncemessage

.ifndef SPOOLDIR
SPOOLDIR = /var/spool/exim4
.endif
spool_directory = SPOOLDIR

...

Thank you for helping me,
Bruno
