I think I can explain the problem a little further. The upgrade has broken the init script. Running: $ EX4DEBUG=t /etc/init.d/exim4 start enabled me to write this workaround: case ${QUEUERUNNER} in combined) start_daemon -p "$PIDFILE" \ "$DAEMON" -bd "-q${QFLAGS}${QUEUEINTERVAL}" \ #"${COMMONOPTIONS}" "${QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS}" "${SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS}" log_progress_msg "exim4" ;; If the commented out line is not commented out exim4 will fail with a complaint about incompatible command-line options. The value of all three variables in a stock Debian (/etc/default/exim4) is the empty string '''' but still it causes an error. Sebastian

This has been reported (not once, but six times by people too lazy to look whether a bug is alreay reported [#477194, #477236, #477239, #477258, #477562, #476987]) and fixed in exim4 4.69-3 more than a week ago.
