Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.84.2-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I upgraded my jessie systems to 4.84.2-1 and added an add_environment
setting thus:
add_environment = <; PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
The upstream advisory says:
"If both options are not used in the configuration, Exim issues a
warning on startup. This warning disappears if at least one of these
options is used (even if set to an empty value)."
Yet:
root@mws-priv-21:~# /usr/sbin/exim4 -bP | grep environment
LOG: MAIN
Warning: purging the environment.
Suggested action: use keep_environment.
add_environment = <; PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
keep_environment =
This is clearly not the correct behaviour, and I'm getting a lot of
cron mail :-(
[FTAOD, this is not the same as #817244 - that was a testing system,
and setting add_environment there had the desired result]
Thanks,
Matthew
