It's the time of year for exim autoreply-related queries...
Trying 'vacation' from a filter file (exim 2.05, Berkeley DB 2.4.14) I
find that the oncelog file (.vacation) gets initialised with a load of
junk which the user probably shouldn't have access to. If I do
'strings .vacation' after it has fielded one message, I'm treated to
what looks like a chunk of the retry database. Presumably db_open()
isn't clearing a buffer before use. This is mildly worrying, since
it might contain more or less anything. I'm not sure what exim could
do about this, or indeed whether it should, since it's the responsibility
of the DBM library.
Regards,
Malcolm
