Bug#306094: exim4: local part restrictions became inconsistent with comments, changelog is silent
Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-4 Severity: minor Very recently (between 4.50-4 and 4.50-6) the local_parts restrictions in /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt changed, but the comments discussing the restrictions did not change, so the actual restrictions and the explanation are now inconsistent. Also, the changelog makes no mention of this change. I'd like to know the rationale.

This was changed in 4.50-2 in response to bug #273302. I neglected, however, to adapt the docs. Probably you have noticed the change in 4.50-6 when formatting of the ACL files was re-worked. Also, the changelog makes no mention of this change. I'd like to know the rationale. If the discussion in #273302 doesn't give enough rationale, please ask again. I have taken your report as motivation to move the two regexps to macros to allow for easy local changes, and to adapt the docs. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.
