Package: exim4-config Version: 4.69-11 Severity: minor Hello,
currently the exim4-config configuration facility gives the impression that only one smarthost is allowed in dc_smarthost. That is wrong as a (semi)colon-seperated list of smarthosts does work perfectly well. this is particularly useful if you want to add fallback smarthosts for the case that your default smarthost becomes unavailable. the current description for smarthost is: > Please enter the IP address or the host name of a mail server that this > system should use as outgoing smarthost. If the smarthost only accepts your > mail on a port different from TCP/25, append two colons > and the port number (for example smarthost.example::587 or > 192.168.254.254::2525). Colons in IPv6 addresses need to be doubled. > If the smarthost requires authentication, please refer to the Debian-specific > README files in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base for notes about setting up SMTP > authentication. > IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost: i suggest to change this to something like: > Please enter a semicolon-seperated list of IP addresses or host names of mail > servers that this system should use as outgoing smarthost. If the smarthosts > only accepts your mail on a port different from TCP/25, append two colons > and the port number (for example smarthost.example::587 or > 192.168.254.254::2525).
