Package: exim4 Severity: normal
The default value of the host_lookup_order option is to do a DNS lookup first, and then to try a local lookup. This should be made consistent with the default nsswitch.conf configuration that tries first a local lookup, and then a DNS lookup. This bug can raise a privacy issue since with the default configuration, a DNS query can leak the hostname while trying to deliver a mail locally. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages exim4 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy pn exim4-base <none> (no description available) pn exim4-daemon-light | exim4-da <none> (no description available) exim4 recommends no packages. exim4 suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
