And this is exactly the point: ppl just do 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4' and then come to irc channels or other forums complaining that nothing happens. Of course the situation is properly documented in README.Debian, but the target audience here doesn't read that documentation. My point is that `dpkg-reconfigure exim4` is what users seem to expect to work (without reading documentation). Therefore I suggested adding some additional information at the point that doesn't behave to what users expect. I didn't propose how to fix, just a piece of information for users how to find out how to do what they actually wanted to do. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
