Package: exim4-base Version: 4.80-7+deb7u1 Quoting update-exim4.conf manpages [1]:

Now, "/etc/init.d/exim4 restart" updates the config while exim is running, which is exactly what manpage warns against! > restart) > log_daemon_msg "Stopping MTA for restart" > # regenerate exim4.conf > upex4conf > isconfigvalid > stop_exim > log_end_msg 0 > sleep 2 > log_daemon_msg "Restarting MTA" > start_exim > log_end_msg 0 > warn_paniclog > ;; Typo in in the exim4-config manpages (also 4.80-7+deb7u1) or bug in exim4-base that can lead to problems when exim forks for SMTP receiving or queue running? Noticed in wheezy 7.1, as well as current sid (4.84-3). [1] http://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?&query=update-exim4.conf -- Yours virtually, Jakub Warmuz
