Since it was non-trivial to special-case this and I needed some svn
experience anyway, I have branched an experimental branch for exim's
Debian packaging and have packaged the snapshot of September 21 for
Debian experimental, numbered as 4.63.20060921-1.
I am running the snapshot myself on my personal mail host, and have
adapted my spam and malware filtering ACLs to use named ACLs. I can
say "works for me". Thanks, this is a great feature from a packaging
point of view.
I have posted a heads-up on pkg-exim4-devel and hope that people will
try the snapshot.
Greetings
Marc
