RFS: sa-exim -- Use spamAssassin at SMTP time with the Exim v4 MTA
Magnus Holmgren
it would be most kind if one or more of you could take a look at the new
sa-exim package I've prepared, thereby adopting it. (But don't upload it yet;
I'd like upstream to acknowledge that he knows that I'm adopting it first.)
It can be found at http://www.kibibyte.se/download/debian/, or downloaded
directly with dget http://www.kibibyte.se/download/debian/sa-exim_4.2.1-3.dsc
From changelog.Debian:
* New maintainer (Closes: #352533).
* Updated package description to explain what SA-Exim can do that
exim-daemon-heavy can't, and vice versa (Closes: #378732).
* Added German debconf template translation (Closes: #399963).
Thanks to Matthias Julius.
* Updated Swedish debconf templates.
* Repackaged against pristine upstream tarball.
* Encourage use of ACL variables in sa-exim.conf. Also exclude ::1
from SA scanning.
There are no changes in executable code at this time.

Just a sec ... I just remembered that I should upgrade the Standards-Version.
There are also a couple of issues with the greylistclean script. I think I'm
gonna move it from /usr/sbin to /usr/share/sa-exim to avoid having to supply
a manpage for it (it's not supposed to be run manually anyway). Further, the
greylistclean crontab expects spamd to be run as, and therefore the
greylisting tuplets in /var/spool/sa-exim to be owned by, "nobody", who
shouldn't own any files at all. That's of course configurable, but it's not a
recommended default. I don't think sa-exim should put greylisting tuplets and
archived mail under /var/spool, but /var/lib. I don't know if the maintainer
script hacking needed is worth it, though.

Too late, I just uploaded, release often, release soon!
I also emailed you about several issues.

Just ping me when you have something ready, you can do it privately to
me, and I will upload.
Happy hacking!

Nope, not this time. Is it possible to overwrite files already in the archive,
and if so, how? Do I have to modify the upstream version? Neither the NMG
(chapter 8/9) nor the Developer's Reference (5.4, 5.6) are entirely clear on
this matter (it's probably not a common thing to do), but DR section 5.4
suggests that it's possible. Hovever, inst...@ftp-master.d.o said

I trust Amaya to have uploaded the .orig.tar.gz matching the .changes entry.
