Package: exim4 Version: 4.72-6+squeeze3 Severity: normal Hello,
we've got hit by this race condition today. I find it ridiculous that this bug is not fixed for 6 years, while the fix is trivial. So far only lame excuses about hypothetical monitoring software that could break if it cannot find a log file. WTF? Is there such a lame monitoring that prefers to check the log instead of TCP socket? Or did you mean something like logcheck? Whatever, running SMTP server is the top priority. Without that even the monitoring itself is worthless, as it cannot send any warnings. So please fix this, upload it to unstable, and we'll see if something else will break.
