severity #269806 wishlist thanks The exim 4 maintainers are open to suggestions. The way as it is currently done is the least evil way we could imagine. Lowering the severity to wishlist, and stil waiting for a better idea to be named for us.
Ideas for d-i how to solve this (Cc: to joey): (1) Pick up the contents from /var/mail/mail after exim's configuration has been executed and re-deliver the contents to exim. (2) The exim 4 maintainers could think of having the init script support a special d-i parameter which would put exim in queue-only mode. That way, d-i could tell exim to start up in queue-only mode and happily dump e-mail into exim's queue. After exim's configuration has finally been finished, d-i could re-invoke exim normally, having the queued messages delivered to their final target. Please indicate whether you want us to implement such an interface, and indiciate as well how this interface could look like from a d-i point of view. We will then see what we can do.
