Hi,
I'm testing Exim 4.00 (enticed by the very useful possibilities
added since 3.x). It's interesting so far - not live yet, but
nearly there.
However, I did notice a small problem with the new "list"
definitions. Take the below as an example:
domainlist local_domains = @
Exim was fine if that line matches "list<space>", but didn't like
me putting a tab right after "domainlist", claiming:
2002-02-28 21:47:48 Exim configuration error in line 27:
main option "domainlist" unknown
That struck me as not quite right!
So I wrote a patch and submit it below for other obsessive tab
formatters to try out. Tested on my (FreeBSD) box from source,
YMMV.
To allow tabs and other whitespace after "...list" I effectively
did:
# remove build symlinks
rm build*/readconf.c build*/mytypes.h
# copy source
cp src/readconf.c src/mytypes.h build*
then applied the following patch:
