--- Begin Message ---Package: exim4-config Version: 4.62-2 Severity: minor The recent cleanup of the documentation seems to have left some loose ends. 1. acl/20_exim4-config_whitelist_local_deny includes # Whitelisting can also be configured by including negative items in the # black list. See /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/default_acl for details. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The indicatedfile doesn't exist; I think it was merged into README.Debian, though I don't see stuff in there that bears directly on this issue there now. 2. README.Debian section 2.1.2 (on ACLs) says The access list file also contains quite a few configuration options that are too restrictive to be active by default on a real-life site. It is unclear, at least to me, what file the "access list file" refers to. My guess is it means either all the acl files or the check_rcpt one. 3. It might be helpful for README.Debian to mention the possibility of customizing the ACLs via, e.g., CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_ACL_FILE. And/or something about this could go in the exim4-config_files man page, though that's tricky since the user makes up the file name and location. 4. There is an oddity in the exim4-config_files man page when viewed with tkman. man in terminal looks OK. In case there is something on the page that is inspiring this weird behavior, I'm reporting it. Here's what I see when I expand the subitem under "description" -------------------------------------------------- /etc/exim4/local_host_blacklist is an optional file containing a list of IP addresses, networks and host names whose messages will be denied with the error message "locally blacklisted". This is a full exim 4 host list, and all avail- able features can be used. This includes negative items, and so it is possible to exclude addresses from being blacklisted. For convenience, as an additional method to whitelist addresses from being blocked, an explicit whitelist is read in from /etc/exim4/local_host_whitelist. Entries in the whitelist override corresponding blacklist entries. In the blacklist, the trick is to read a line break as "or" if it fol- lows a positive item, and as "and" if it follows a negative item. For example, a /etc/exim4/local_host_blacklist 192.168.10.0/24 !172.16.10.128/26 172.16.10.0/24 10.0.0.0/8 Exim just evaluates left to right (or up-down in the file listing con- text), so you don't get the same kind of operator binding as in a pro- gramming language. XXXXXX will be accepted despite the address is also listed in /etc/exim4/local_host_blacklist, overriding a blacklisting. /etc/exim4/local_sender_blacklist is an optional files containing a list of envelope senders whose mes- --------------------------------------------------------- The section with XXX has missing material on local_host_whitelist. If I hit enter (which tells tkman to expand and move on) the missing text reappears. I may be misunderstanding tkman, or it may be strictly a tkman bug. But if there's a way to prevent it from the man page itself, that would be a plus. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.62 #1 built 02-May-2006 11:54:25 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.29: (September 6, 2005) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27advncdfs Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages exim4-config depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.2 Debian configuration management sy exim4-config recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded

Thanks to Ross Boylan. Closes: #368242 * re-word -o description in update-exim4.conf(8) man page. Thanks to Ross Boylan. * Flag update-exim4.conf(8) man page for a re-work in its BUGS section. * Give a - hopefully - better explanation of the mail name thingy in README.Debian. * Fix occurrences of default_acl file in documentation. Make part of README.Debian less confusing. Thanks to Ross Boylan. Closes: #376459 * When installing via apt using dpkg-preconfigure the value of dc_hide_mailname was overwritten during the second run of the debconf script (invoked by postinst), before the value was stored in the configuration file. Fix this. (am) Closes: #376460 * Make spamassassin example in 40_exim4_config_check_data actually work, add link to documentation for "really suiteable" configuration examples. Thanks, again, to Ross Boylan. * remove left-over "and a bunch" sentence from exim4-config_files.5 * Add a symlink from /etc/email-addresses to /etc/exim4/email-addresses * Fix bad parsing of CHECK_RCPT_DOMAIN_DNSBLS. Thanks to Robert Millan. Closes: #378581 * Note in README.Debian that other parts of the Debian system might give outdated and/or wrong advice. See #378684, #378685. * SPF support: (rm) Closes: #290464 * Add (disabled) template to check SPF in 30_exim4-config_check_rcpt. * Add libmail-spf-query-perl (>= 1.999-1) to Suggests. * Rewrite Q/A about SPF from README.Debian. * Add a small note to exim4-config.NEWS. * Add conf.d/acl/30_exim4-config_check_mail to reject mail without HELO/EHLO.

This used to be the case in the beginning, but was changed eventually, and I didn't find any rationale for our deviation. Thus, we change back to upstream's default to see which things might break. * remove cron.d from exim4-base dirs - we do not have a cron.d job any more for years. * Re-work daily cron job: * Make statistics configurable with a variable * Comment that the log handling code is fragile and depending on log rotation strategy * Add code to generate warnings if paniclog non-empty.
