Hmm, yes I see that in the manual. However, perhaps I'm missing something
here. Within readconf.c to enter the block of code that produced the error
message (around line 2446) it states:
/* If there wasn't a -oX option and daemon_smtp_port was set, find the
port number from it. */
if (daemon_listen && smtp_port < 0 && configured_smtp_service != NULL)
{
Now 'daemon_listen' is set to 'true' in exim.c because we start it as -bd'.
'smtp_port' is less than 0 because it defaults to -1 (in globals.c).
But 'configured_smtp_service' is local to readconf.c and is initialised to
NULL. It only changes if the (old) 'daemon_smtp_service' option or the
'daemon_smtp_port' option is used.
We don't use the daemon_smtp_service/port options so
'configured_smtp_service' is NULL. Hence I am still at a loss to see why
this block of code was executed.
John.
