Package: exim4
Version: 4.69-9+lenny1
Severity: important
Lurking in #exim, it appears the recent security update in stable is causing
problems related to expanding macros/variables like MAIN_RELAY_NETS and
ETC_MAILNAME in the configuration.
Symptoms include not being able to send mail at all, errors such as:
2010-12-18 17:07:48 1PTzK0-0001uY-PW <= arnouten@ETC_MAILNAME U=arnouten
P=local S=1953 [email protected]
2010-12-18 17:07:48 1PTzK0-0001uY-PW **
[email protected]: Unrouteable address
2010-12-18 17:07:48 1PTzK0-0001ua-Ts Error while reading message with no usable
sender address (R=1PTzK0-0001uY-PW): at least one malformed recipient address:
arnouten@ETC_MAILNAME - malformed address: _MAILNAME may not follow arnouten@ETC
2010-12-18 17:07:48 1PTzK0-0001uY-PW Process failed (1) when writing error
message to arnouten@ETC_MAILNAME (frozen)
And in another instance:
2010-12-19 10:30:06 no IP address found for host MAIN_RELAY_NETS (during SMTP
connection from localhost (li37-79.members.linode.com) [127.0.0.1])
Unfortunately I've somehow fixed the problem in my instance without properly
understanding what's going on, but I figured it might be good to collect
information in a bugreport anyhow.
For the ETC_MAILNAME problem i believe the workaround was to manually replace
ETC_MAILNAME with the contents of /etc/mailname in the configfile used by exim
- but that's obviously a workaround...
