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.
Also affects EPEL6 with exim-4.84.2-1.el6.x86_64
I will use upstream defaults: keep_environment = ^LDAP add_environment = PATH=/usr/bin::/bin
