That didn't seem to be the case, but the patched script works properly now, thank you. >>Furthermore update-exim4.conf dies if the conf.d directory doesn't exist >>even though dc_use_split_config is false > > But it does die with a clear error message, right? It does. I don't think the conf.d directory need exist if the single configuration file is being used (dc_use_split_config='false') and vice versa. One instance I can see it happening in is with one mail server I set up, I kept different configurations in different directories, thus to get around that message I would have to symlink (or copy) the conf.d directory even though it was not being used. Considering that's a workaround, it would probably be better to modify the script's behaviour so no workaround would be necessary. -Ted
