Hash: SHA1
Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.63-17
Severity: normal
On one of my hosts sometimes I get the message from it that exim holds
the deleted file /var/log/exim4/mainlog.1 open. So it seems for me that
it is not gracefully restart at the end of logrotate.
So please do the following to not log messages to a deleted file.

Please read spec.txt 49.2 and explain what exim does wrong in your
opinion. Re-open the bug just in case the specification is flawed, and
please elaborate how restarting the SMTP listener daemon might affect
long-running delivery processes.
