Bug ID: 1784
Summary: exim fails to write PID file when alternative ports
are specified
Product: Exim
Version: 4.80
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: General execution
Assignee: nigel@???
Reporter: developerchris@???
CC: exim-dev@???
When exim is configured to use ports from the command line a pid file is not
written
When this happens the stop start script fails to stop exim and the new process
fails to bind to the port and therefore exits after multiple retries
The problem occurs if you add the following to /etc/default/exim4 in debian
# options for daemon listening on port 25
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS='-oX 25:587:465'
in debian this generates a command line similar to this
/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m -oX 25:587:465
In this circumstance no pid file is written at all
