More complex settings should be made directly inside exim configuration by means of the macros that are used to configure exim. In your case, this would be DCsmarthost. > Upon trying to dpkg --configure -a, this package crashes with: > > Setting up exim4-config (4.67-5) ... > /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf: non-ascii value "${if eq > {location}{home}{host1.example.com}{host2.example.com}}" read from > /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, sanitizing to ___if eq > _location__home__host1.example.com__host2.example.com___ > 2007-06-29 10:41:57 Exim configuration error in line 722 of > /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: > option "DEBCONFheaders_rewriteDEBCONF" unknown Additionally, you did not read /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz and are trying to run a post 4.67-2 exim with a pre 4.67-2 config. A tiny buglet in update-exim4.conf deprived you from seeing the error message resulting from the check for non-docs readers that was added in 4.67-4: DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the suggested conffile changes. Please read /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz for 4.67-2 and 4.67-4 > The headers_rewrite appears to be a separate problem related to the fact that > I did not take upgrades to 30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost, which > would have broken some custom configs. Custom configs would be required to manually adapt to the new scheme, as documented in NEWS.Debian.
