Affirmative. our fault. log_failure_msg has started to add the ...

While we're at it, lsb's cheangelog for 3.2-17 says
log_{success,failure,warning}_msg suck, please don't use them for
Debian scripts., so we should probably re-work the init script anyway.

Just to be sure I understand: the failure message is in error, and exim
should be functioning normally, right?
Thanks.

Bug#629610: exim4: misleading (?) failed message after paniclog warning
Package: exim4 Version: 4.72-6 Severity: normal terminal # /etc/init.d/exim4 restart Stopping MTA for restart: exim4_listener. Restarting MTA: exim4. ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken ... failed! /terminal I read the ... failed! as meaning that the non-zero paniclog has caused the restart to fail. However, netstat -nlp indicates that exim is running and listening on port 25, as expected. The failed message seems inappropriate in this setting. If it actually means something else is broken, it should indicate what. My paniclog does have stuff in it, and I have some mail that is currently undeliverable because my local cyrus is not running. This is on a virtual machine that had lenny installed and has been dist-upgraded to squeeze.
