Re: [RFC] Exim as standard Debian MTA?

I'm still using the hamm exim because last I tried the slink version it was a big mess. I'd be interested in what actually was a mess. How? I would potentially because of the problems with the 2.0x versions of exim being a little flakey at least here and I've been told other places as well. I'm running it in production mode since the 1.9x (early beta for 2.0x) and since that release the bugfixes were minor ones. I can't think of any way it failed for me and I didn't apply one patch. It was 1.81, 1.91 and 2.02 I compiled (on one server) and on the other one (running Debian) I just took the Debian package from unstable.

Re: Maybe it's time to split debian-devel-changes
Hi, I'd like to append two (hopefully short) comments to this. a) The right place to fix this bug/implement it is Guy's dinstall program that installs the packages into the archive. If one feels that this should happen soon he should contribute to it. I think Guy would accept appropriate patches. b) Since our list server is based on procmail we can do *everthing* with it. This would mean that we could set up -changes-$arch lists and install one unique address where all .changes files get mailed. A mechanism could look into it and decide themselve to which lists it should be forwarded. The second commend doesn't imply that I'm going to install this. Only to let you see that this damn list server can do everything. Now that a) is the choice people who want to have it implemented should help. Please people. Don't look at me, I do want it to appear but I can't afford the time currently. This is the bug the whole discussion is related to.
