Package: exim4 Version: 4.84-6 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,

I was surprised to find out that disabling scanning outgoing mails is so simple. It would have helped me, if the default config would have had something like root@netcup:~# diff -u 40_exim4-config_check_data.orig 40_exim4-config_check_data --- 40_exim4-config_check_data.orig 2015-01-04 10:17:58.316000000 +0100 +++ 40_exim4-config_check_data 2015-01-04 10:20:34.484000000 +0100 @@ -54,6 +54,9 @@ # # See the exim docs and the exim wiki for more suitable examples. # + # do not run spam scanning on authentificated mails (=outgoing mails) + # accept authenticated = * + # # warn # spam = Debian-exim:true # add_header = X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\ root@netcup:~# Thanks, Rainer -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.84 #2 built 21-Dec-2014 13:47:32 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge, 1995 - 2014 (c) The Exim Maintainers and contributors in ACKNOWLEDGMENTS file, 2007 - 2014 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 5.3.28: (September 9, 2013) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl Expand_dlfunc GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning DKIM Old_Demime PRDR OCSP Lookups (built-in): lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmjz dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql sqlite Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl dovecot plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' # # Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes # to this file might happen.
