-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all!
I'm trying to set up exim4 on my install-clients with debconf. After installation exim4 does not send mails. But when I run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config manually and enter the configuration values, then I get a working exim4 config. I wonder why my debconf answers differ from my settings while installing. I have put the input/output of my configuration/log files down below. In $fai/debconf/EXIM4 I have: exim4-config exim4/dc_eximconfig_configtype select mail sent by smarthost; no local mail exim4-config exim4/dc_local_interfaces string 127.0.0.1 exim4-config exim4/dc_minimaldns boolean false exim4-config exim4/dc_noalias_regenerate boolean false exim4-config exim4/dc_other_hostnames string melmac.wiss-staff exim4-config exim4/dc_postmaster string real- exim4-config exim4/dc_readhost string ins.uni-bonn.de exim4-config exim4/dc_relay_domains string exim4-config exim4/dc_relay_nets string exim4-config exim4/dc_smarthost string mail.ins.uni-bonn.de exim4-config exim4/exim3_upgrade boolean true exim4-config exim4/hide_mailname boolean true exim4-config exim4/mailname string melmac.wiss-staff exim4-config exim4/no_config boolean true exim4-config exim4/use_split_config boolean false After successfull installation output of debconf-get-selections|grep exim4-config: # Reconfigure exim4-config instead of this package exim4-config exim4/dc_other_hostnames string melmac.wiss-staff:melmac.wiss-staff exim4-config exim4/dc_eximconfig_configtype select local delivery only; not on a network exim4-config exim4/dc_noalias_regenerate boolean false exim4-config exim4/no_config boolean true exim4-config exim4/hide_mailname boolean true exim4-config exim4/dc_postmaster string real- exim4-config exim4/dc_smarthost string mail.ins.uni-bonn.de exim4-config exim4/dc_relay_domains string exim4-config exim4/dc_relay_nets string exim4-config exim4/mailname string melmac.wiss-staff exim4-config exim4/dc_readhost string ins.uni-bonn.de # Reconfigure exim4-config instead of this package # Reconfigure exim4-config instead of this package exim4-config exim4/use_split_config boolean false exim4-config exim4/dc_localdelivery select mbox format in /var/mail/ exim4-config exim4/dc_local_interfaces string 127.0.0.1 exim4-config exim4/dc_minimaldns boolean false exim4-config exim4/exim3_upgrade boolean true Why is exim4/dc_eximconfig_configtype not set to "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail" ?
