Bug#286721: "exim4 -bV -C /path/to/file" does not validate incorrect control= statements

[Marc Sherman]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.34-8
Severity: normal

exim 4.34 does not support submission mode (it was added in 4.40).
However, adding "control=submission" to an ACL in the 4.34 config file
does not cause an error at startup (or with exim -bV).  The failure is
only noticed when incoming mail hits the offending line in the ACL, and
is deferred.

PS: Sorry, I couldn't find how to submit bugs upstream in a quick search
of exim.org, so I'm submitting to the debian BTS instead.
