Oh dear; thanks for this analysis. http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1141 filed. There's a work-around, so this isn't critical enough to mandate a new release "soon", but this definitely needs to be fixed before the next release. I've assigned the bug to me, but I'm not sure when I'll get time to take a look. Matt: the config looked fairly sane, thanks. (Normally, reports like this turn out to be configuration mistakes). -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/ -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
