Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-9

Hello

After upgrading to Lenny I found that my Exim4 configuration didn't work
anymore. I use it as a spam relay which forwards mail to the actual mail
server, so I use dc_relay_domains='*' and additional configuration which
verifies the address using recipient callouts.

Now I discovered that the problem was that update-exim4.conf replaces the
asterisk with the filenames in /etc/exim4 in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.
I was able to solve it by adding a backslash before the wildcard.

It seems this bug was introduced sometime after the etch version (4.63-17).
Otherwise, the upgrade worked really well so far (still got about 40 servers
to do...)


Thanks and cheers,
Markus
