            Bug ID: 2243
           Summary: Noise in "exim -bV" stderr with +arguments
                    log_selector
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.90
          Hardware: x86
               URL: https://bugs.debian.org/890236
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Logging

Hello,

with
log_selector = +arguments
"exim -bV" stderr is nonempty:
------------------
root@argenau:~# exim -bP log_selector
log_selector = +arguments
root@argenau:~# exim -bV > /dev/null
2018-02-18 18:28:32 cwd=/root 2 args: exim -bV
------------------

This seems to have changed in the last years. On Debian oldstable with exim
4.84.2 stderr is empty.

However afaict the behavior change was not necessarily triggered by changes in
exim's codebase. Rebuilding and running 4.84.2 on current Debian also show the
message on stderr.

Anyway, although +arguments is a debugging option, -bV stderr probably should
be quiet.
