Bug#515727: /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4: Run queue in background /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4

[Eugene B. Berdnikov]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-9
Severity: normal
File: /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4
Tags: patch



Queue run from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4 should be done in background,
because pppd waits for termination of this script, and other scripts
in ip-up.d are blocked.

It should also flush frozen messages, so "-qqf" is changed to "-qqff".
