That happens when s/o recompiles package meant for potato on slink without
checking, what other packages are needed.
slink has libpcre1 where exim 3.x need libpcre2, so there is the problem.

Yup. That is exim in Debian is dynamicly linked with libident and libpcre
(you know, one finds a bug in the library and doesn't need to recompile every
program that used it).

Hi,
I have those expansions in this transport with this dbm source. The
hosts expansion works well, but port expansion not. Can someone say me
where may be a bug. Exim says: TCP port not found.

Thank you for your tips.

bye Milan Kocian

remote_smtp_anyhost:
driver = smtp
port = ${lookup{${local_part}@${domain}:port}dbm*@{/etc/exim/sendhost.dbm}{$value}fail}
gethostbyname = true
hosts = ${lookup{${local_part}@${domain}:host}dbm*@{/etc/exim/sendhost.dbm}{$value}fail}
hosts_override = true

dbm source:

milon@???: port=smtp2 host=best.sh.cvut.cz
