Oggetto: Re: [exim] Outstanding problems with Exim 4.90.1?
I've managed to unpack the .xz archive files (Tip: just use GNU tar and it
recognises/unpacks it) for the source and patches and it doesn't appear to
have been applied. I'm not overly surprised as they'll have been working
towards the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Long Term Stable) which happened
in April 2018.

However the next release of Ubuntu 18.10 (cosmic) will contain Exim 4.91
and checking its source code shows that patch has indeed been applied to it.

Sadly our current policy is to only use LTS releases of Ubuntu, so unless
this changes I guess I'm stuck with 18.04 LTS and the unpatched Exim 4.90.1
for the next 18 months: hence no cutthrough still. (I've just asked, and
our policy is unlikely to be changed. Hey-ho.)

I'd noticed that, but Jeremy asked me to check the Ubuntu distribution of
the 4.90.1 we're using: I guess just in case it had been backported.

Cheers,
