My mail servers run, and have run for decades, on Debian, and I've always used the Debian package for exim4, though I don't use debconf for my own additions, but just edit the conf.template file as if it were a .conf file.
The pain of dealing with Debian's antiquated versions (4.92) and gratuitous messing around with upstream's configuration (most recent annoyance, not supporting built-in SPF) is prompting me to think about switching to using the primary source. I wonder if anybody on this list has done such a conversion recently, and would have time to share the chief gotchas they encountered. If you reply to me, I will summarize to the list. Thanks, Julian. -- ## 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/
