Just a heads-up -- I upgraded to the new libc6 version, and exim started refusing to accept SMTP connections from fetchmail. [1] I'm not sure what the issue is exactly, but when running /usr/sbin/sendmail manually some non-fatal errors are displayed about libdb2.so. (if I manage to track it down more I'll file a bug report--right now I don't even know whether it's a problem with exim or with libc6) So if you use exim, you might want to at least dpkg-repack your old libc before upgrading, or demonstrate that I don't know what I'm talking about ;-).. Daniel [1] Thank God for procmail, which lets me at least sort of get my email.. -- /----------------- Daniel Burrows <Daniel_Burrows@brown.edu> -----------------| Fate always wins... | | at least, when people stick to the rules. | | -- Terry Pratchett, _Interesting Times_ | \----------------- The Turtle Moves! -- http://www.lspace.org ----------------/

Mail sent by a user gets sent out, but some of the messages to root appear to get stuck in a queue: e8QM2C130758 1912 Tue Sep 26 15:02 root (Deferred: user database error) root newaliases won't run, either. I tried rebuilding sendmail but get a bunch of errors I haven't been able to sort out yet. I filed bug #72519 against sendmail, but don't really have a handle on the problem.
