I'm not sure how this should be solved and by which package, but I think it's an undesired situation to have by default. *sigh* A wonder it took so long time for this bug to be filed for the first time. See #392609. The exim4 maintainers were strongly urged by the installer guys to have exim refrain from asking configuratino questions during install and have complied reluctantly. That meant choosing a default, and - of course - regardless of what you choose as the default the choice is considered wrong by everybody. To make it short: Please take this to debian-devel or to the tech ctte to have them tell me what to choose as default. I don't care. And I am not going to change this default just to have somebody else complain a day later. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Also, some ISPs do not allow direct outgoing mail connections. [0] Load average over 400 for a while, 25% idle time, 50% wait. The only unusuall thing running was many exim4 and procmail processes starting and completing quickly. My guess is spammers tried sending so much spam at once that nothing got through. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html With Microsoft, failure is not an option.

Package: exim4-config Version: 4.63-8 Severity: normal Hi, Since exim4 is configured for local mail only by default, reportbug can no longer send emails to the BTS.
