Thank you for taking the time to reply Nick.

I run a fairly stable x86 server and try not to 'fix' what ain't broke. I
dunno. I usually run 'emerge -Davu system' and 'world' every couple of days
and see if anything stands out. I also try not to update things right a way
so as to let the -rN versions stabalize. There is almost always a -r1 right
away ;-)

There was a GLSA 3 months back on June 9th.

[ebuild   R   ] mail-mta/exim-4.50-r1  +X -dnsdb -exiscan -exiscan-acl +ipv6
-ldap -lmtp -mailwrapper -mbox +mysql -nis +pam +perl -postgres -sasl +ssl
-syslog +tcpd 1,401 kB 

But I don't believe that's changed since:

daevid portage-logs # ll *exim*

I tried to emerge mailman again today just incase that helped. Same results.
