Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.50-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
Thanks for your work on exim4. I have played a bit with you package
today and made a patch allowing to choose any other default name for
~/Maildir with update-exim4.conf.
The idea is to be able to do with exim4 things similar as what is
described here: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/MailStorageStandardisation .
The patch is small though (I believe) complete, including bits for the
man page and the README.
Best regards,
Frédéric Lehobey
