Package: exim
Version: 3.32-2
Severity: minor
The exim init.d startup script does not have a separate config file. This
means that, if you need to change something (like how often you queue-run)
you need to edit the /etc/init.d/exim startup script (which would otherwise
be static, and not need changing).
To use a config file for this (eg /etc/default/exim, as per various other
init.d rc scripts), here is the small patch that I used:

Of course, this could probably be expanded to use other variables that may
get used to start/stop exim.
For what it's worth, this is using Debian 3.0 (woody).

Version: 3.36-18.2+rm
The exim package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/420191 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
