exim4 (4.62-7) unstable; urgency=low Bug #392993 says that 4.63-5 and -6 have overwritten manual setting of dc_local_delivery with one of the default versions if you have set dc_local_delivery to a value that is not either mail_spool or maildir_home. Please verify that your dc_local_delivery does still point to the transport you have chosen. Please note that the debconf configuration only supports plain lists. Advanced features like "dsearch;" entered there may work today, but are not guaranteed to continue working in the future. If you want to use such features, please use the macros made available for use in the configuration or edit the configuration itself. This allows us to use semicolons as list delimiters consistently while still being backwards compatible to colon-separated lists without driving code complexity up too high. Starting with this version, update-exim4.conf will print a warning if a dsearch lookup is found in the list of local domains, dc_local_domains since there is a HOWTO on the Internet that recommends doing this kind of things and this will _not_ work any more. -- Marc Haber Sun, 15 Oct 2006 10:00:15 +0000 exim4 (4.62-4) unstable; urgency=low exim4-config has had its debconf templates re-worked. Basic functionality is unchanged, so you shouldn't expect a real difference. The priority of most questions has been lowered to medium, so that the Installer can install exim4 with no questions being asked. The default is local delivery only. Mail messages for root and postmaster are delivered to an mbox file in /var/mail/mail, make sure to read them. You can do the full exim4 configuration by calling dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config as root. It is now finally possible to configure exim4 to deliver outgoing mail to a smarthost on a port number different from 25 via debconf. -- Marc Haber Mon, 9 Oct 2006 14:12:25 +0000 exim4 (4.62-3) unstable; urgency=low A template for SPF support is now provided. It is disabled by default, and relies on external calls to spfquery(1) from the libmail-spf-query-perl package. For details, check README.Debian, and conf.d/acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt. -- Robert Millan Fri, 28 Jul 2006 22:43:56 +0200 exim4 (4.62-1) unstable; urgency=low Please note that the handling of update-exim4.conf.conf has changed with regard to dc_local_interfaces and dc_relay_nets: If the strings given there contain a semicolon, the string "<;" is now prepended to the value written to the configuration file to consider ; a list separator. This significantly helps writing down IPv6 addresses, but means that if you use complex things like lookups in update-exim4.conf.conf, you'll have to change your configuration to use the macros that directly interfere with the configuration. 127.0.0.1 and ::1 have been removed from the default hostlist relay_from_hosts - these addresses are now added by update-exim4.conf with the appropriate separator. If you set MAIN_RELAY_NETS manually, you'll need to add these two addresses to your local host list. -- Marc Haber Sat, 29 Apr 2006 22:36:31 +0000 exim4 (4.50-5) unstable; urgency=low mailname, the local name of the system used to qualify senders and recipients is no longer a local domain by default. Having local delivery for that host name used to break satellite and smarthost setups where no local delivery was expected. /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf is modified automatically on upgrade from the appropriate earlier versions, so if you don't do any funky things with /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, you should be fine. -- Marc Haber Sat, 2 Apr 2005 20:31:27 +0200 exim4 (4.43-3) unstable; urgency=low /etc/exim4/email-addresses is ignored now, please use /etc/email-addresses! The last version of exim4 that shipped this file was uploaded on the 19th of May 2003, and I really do not want to start sarge with cruft like that. -- Andreas Metzler Mon, 10 Jan 2004 10:05:34 +0100 exim4 (4.34-1) unstable; urgency=low Debconf will not ask for relay_domains if configuring smarthost or satellite-type systems. - This functionality was untested and could generate mail-loops. -- Andreas Metzler Wed, 12 May 2004 13:42:23 +0200 exim4 (4.30-5) unstable; urgency=low (Re)introduce /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template as alternative to the multiple small files in /etc/exim4/conf.d/ and make it the default choice for fresh installations. This trades in a loss of comfort (you will again need to merge in each small change manually) for increased stability. -- Andreas Metzler Sun, 11 Jan 2004 13:03:43 +0100 exim4 (4.20-2) unstable; urgency=low Rewriting now uses /etc/email-addresses instead of /etc/exim4/email-addresses like exim v3 did. Please move the contents to the new file and delete the old one, when you have time to spare. -- Andreas Metzler Tue, 15 Jul 2003 10:20:15 +0200
