           Summary: eximstats write to stderr if there have been no
                    deliveries
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.69
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.bugs.debian.org/476541
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: low
         Component: Eximstats
        AssignedTo: nigel@???
        ReportedBy: eximusers@???
                CC: exim-dev@???

This is Debian bug 476541, found by Justin Pryzby.

On a machine wih little mail, mainlog might look like this:
/var/log/exim4/mainlog
2008-04-17 07:42:11 Start queue run: pid=12298
2008-04-17 07:42:11 End queue run: pid=12298

without any deliveries. This input causes eximstats to write an error message
to stderr:
ametzler@argenau:/tmp$ /usr/sbin/eximstats < /var/log/exim4/mainlog >
/dev/null
**** No valid log lines read

Which is not very nice if eximstats is run from cron. It should no throw an
error message for valid logfiles even if there are no deliveries in there.

thanks, cu andreas
