In all but the most complex cases, migrating exim v3 to exim v4 involves running /usr/sbin/exim_convert4r4 on /etc/exim/exim.conf, and copying te resulting file to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf. In the cases where this is not true (or, better said, in the cases where there is a slim chance that this might not be true if you're unlucky), exim_convert4r4 will warn you about that. -- EARTH smog | bricks AIR -- mud -- FIRE soda water | tequila WATER -- with thanks to fortune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If your exim 3 configuration was generated by eximconfig, exim4 will try to guess your answers you have given when configuring exim3, and will pre-seed debconf accordingly. Greetings Marc -- -- !!

Frankly, upstream is not quite interested any more in supporting convert4r4. I have forwarded a bug report regarding the script upstream, and upstream said that convert4r4 is not being used any more and that it is too much work to fix that bug. Greetings Marc -- -- !!

I haven't met up with that specific problem (except where I've made nonstandard configuration changes that caused permission errors - usually with ClamAV), but I *have* very carefully made sure that logrotate is doing my log rotation instead of savelog on all my logfiles.

problem of savelog
Hi all, I found yesterday that mails were not delivered since about 6:30 in the morning so I investigated a problem and found that /var/log/exim/paniclog said /var/log/exim/mainlog had a wrong owner/permission; 2005-02-16 06:33:49 1D1AKL-0005JC-00 Cannot open main log file /var/log/exim/m\ ainlog: Permission denied: euid=8 egid=8 In fact ls -l looked like -rw--- 1 root adm 0 2005-02-16 06:33 mainlog so I changed its owner/permission then I got mails. However I found today that the situation was worse than yesterday; not only wrong owner/permission of mainlog -rw--- 1 root adm 0 2005-02-17 06:33 mainlog but also wrong owner/permission of paniclog(?) -rw--- 1 root adm 0 2005-02-17 06:33 paniclog so paniclog told me nothing today. I suspect that savelog in /etc/cron.daily/exim didn't work correctly but I couldn't find any bug in BTS.
