No luck.  I rebooted and got the paniclog error during the boot. After booting, I stopped exim4, deleted the paniclog, and restarted exim4.  It created a paniclog containing the following:

Had you also executed

exim4 -qff -v

I think you would immediately had your paniclog back, you have undelivered messages that fails when exim tries to deliver.


2021-12-02 00:06:49 1momA3-00054k-DE == m...@quixote.home R=local_user T=mail_spool defer (-1): Tainted '/var/mail/marc' (file or directory name for mail_spool transport) not permitted


How do I convince exim4 that /var/spool/marc is an acceptable file name for mail_spool transport?

Exim no longer allows a sender to decide a name of a path component, in this case 'marc'. Your config needs to agree on 'marc' being allowed. This is done using a lookup locally. From what I understand there was / is a discussion about a setting to just warn about this tainted data but allow it, but I could not make it work. I think you already have a lookup in the default config that checks /etc/aliases which would allow 'marc' in your path if you just add a line
marc: marc
to it, I cant promise because I also use another lookup to be able to send mail.

Anyhow, after a successful lookup, the config variable ${local_part} can be replaced by the new variable ${local_part_data} which will recieve its value in the lookup you need to have. Your config files under /etc/exim4/conf.d must not contain ${local_part} anymore.

I have no idea what will happen if you try to reinstall exim to get a new default config.
