exim-4.84-5.el7 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 7. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2015-5392dda624

Comment 2 Justin Schoeman 2015-12-07 13:55:54 UTC
Is it perhaps possible to add a exim-mysql test release (which is required on our installation)?

Thanks,
Justin

Comment 3 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-12-07 13:57:49 UTC
AFAIK exim-mysql is subpackage, it should be part of the update.

Comment 4 Justin Schoeman 2015-12-07 14:06:24 UTC
Oops. Not familiar with EPEL build system.  Test packages are installed, and I can confirm that it is no longer segfaulting on these emails.  Will monitor for any further segfaults once we have a broader message mix going through.

Thank you for the help.
