Package: exim4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I installed Etch/Testing which came with ... something.  I installed
exim3 since I was more familiar with it.  Then I tried ssmtp, then
replaced that with exim4.  It's been an interesting week.  :-P

Neither ssmtp nor exim4 did anything about the entries in
/etc/cron.d/exim which run exim3 housekeeping stuff.  Here's an edited
version of that file (long lines split, tabs stripped), updated for
exim4.  I'm sure you can come up with better but this appears to work.

     ------------------------------------------------
# /etc/cron.d/exim: crontab fragment for exim

# Run queue every 15 minutes
08,23,38,53 * * * * mail if [ -x /usr/lib/exim4/exim4 -a -f \
            /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options ]; \
            then /usr/lib/exim4/exim4 -q ; fi

# Tidy databases

               then /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim4 retry \
               >/dev/null; fi
17 6 * * * mail if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb ]; \
               then /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim4 \
               wait-remote_smtp >/dev/null; fi
