Those should be absolutly synonymous. Are you absolutely sure of this? I
have just set
freeze_tell_mailmaster = false
in a test configuration, and run "exim -bP freeze_tell_mailmaster" and
what it said was
no_freeze_tell_mailmaster
This was on Exim 3.20. I didn't actually test the option itself - but
course the "false" state is the default.
I suspect you have had some other problem which has produced confusing
symptoms. Please let me know more details if it looks like an Exim
problem!
[Note also that freeze_tell_mailmaster is a very old option which
isn't, IMHO, very useful these days.]
