Hi, Quoting Foldi Tamas (crow () kapu hu):
All of the downloadable versions are still buggy, and I can't understand why does it recommend the main-main-developer to paste '%s' into the source code. The following patch should work against this ugly format bug:
<snip patch> The debian packages have been fixed, and an announcement has been sent.
At the moment, we know another 'ugly' bug in the exim main code, but because of your tone it's not published. I can't understand, why do you use this tone against people, who audits your shity code, which has some errors in it.
If you believe in full disclosure, and you were submitting this bug for the security community (why else?) - why are you letting the same principles down after getting a remark you didn't like ?
/etc/exim.conf should have an option set:This is not the default name or location for the exim config file.lez:~$ /usr/sbin/exim -bSThese values are defaults in most linuxes.
No. Most linuxes i encountered had this option disabled by default in exim.conf. Greets, Robert -- Linux Generation encrypted mail preferred. finger rvdm () debian org for my GnuPG/PGP key. Never trust a child farther than you can throw it.
