He didn't show the exim configuration. He showed a configuration file that Debian's magic uses to create the exim configuration. What we use as exim config is not-so-different from the upstream example.conf, it just has a truckload of extra macros and string replacements. The original user is not using split configuration (dc_use_split_config='false'), so his exim configuration is at /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template. His question is quite special and would probably not find answers on pkg-exim4-users where I am usually the only one giving answers. >It looks as though the unclean quick hack to get it working would be to >edit /etc/exim4/conf.d/rewrite/31_exim4-config_rewriting to add the 'T' >flag to the 'Ffrs' set No, he is using non-split config and would have to change /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template. If he would be using split config, your advice would be correct. >and do whatever it is Debian needs to rebuild the >config. /etc/init.d/exim4 restart > That looks like the sort of change that will break with the >next update though. No, Debian tries hard to preserve user changes to configuration files. We usually succeed. If a file changed in the package and locally, the admin is asked which version to keep.
