Description Tim Landscheidt 2016-04-04 16:30:31 UTC
Spawned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1314118#c12: With the new exim version, configurations need to contain add_environment/keep_environment directives or exim will complain.

The default /etc/exim/exim.conf of exim-4.86.2-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm does not contain those directives, and thus makes exim complain.

It instead should ship with a conservative configuration, probably something like:

| add_environment = <; PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
| keep_environment =

A "silent" default configuration would mean that Fedora users do not have to modify it, which means they can upgrade more easily because they have no local configuration.

Comment 1 Tim Jackson 2016-04-18 04:30:39 UTC
Also affects EPEL6 with exim-4.84.2-1.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 Jaroslav Škarvada 2016-04-18 09:11:23 UTC
I will use upstream defaults:
keep_environment = ^LDAP
add_environment = PATH=/usr/bin::/bin
