[rt-users] off topic: exim4 on debian disables pipe_trnasport

[Harald Wagener]

Dear list,
the newest package for exim4 on debian has pipes disabled by default in 
the /etc/aliases b default, which means Your favorite request tracker 
won't get any mails anymore. There is a hint in 
/usr/share/doc/exim4-config/README.Debian.gz that You need to reenable 
the pipe_transport again in 
/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/400_exim4-config_system_aliases.

But, just removing the comment from the line containing

pipe_transport = address_pipe

does not suffice, no even after reloading the configuration or stopping 
and starting exim4 completely.

If someone could shed some light on the situation, I'd be very happy. 
Up till now, I was very happy with exim4, but this leaves me out in the 
cold.

BTW: The error is logged as:
