The version that got PHP calling() is exim 3.36. The version that deal with mailman is exim 4.44. Whatever PHP and exim may do, this problem still only occurs with mailman. So at some point, mailman must do something. It would not be sensible to mess with exim setup unless there is valid ground to blame exim for the bug. -- Mathieu Roy +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | General Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org/ | | Computing Homepage: http://alberich.coleumes.org/ | | Not a native english speaker: | | http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Savane-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/savane-dev
