Package: exim4-base Version: 4.63-4 Severity: normal Hello,
/etc/logrotate.d/exim4-base contains a size parameter, preventing it from rotating until the paniclog grows to this size. /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base checks the paniclog every day, and by default, sends an email if paniclog is a non-zero size. This combination results in sending an email every day about the same single issue. I have finally commented out the check panic log option in the cron.daily script, although I consider this suboptimal - I would prefer that it was just logrotated daily. I can of course make all the modifications myself, but it seems to me this is a poor default arrangement. Can the logrotate script go back to daily for the paniclog?
