[CentOS] yum update (first in a long time) - EXIM environment variable warning
Me again, Another problem I've found since doing my yum update is that EXIM is now showing the following error, on startup, and repeatedly in main.log [root at ollie2 ~]# exim -bt localpart at example.com 2016-05-06 09:27:04 WARNING: purging the environment. Suggested action: use keep_environment and add_environment. ............... Googling says that to fix this all I need to do is add keep_environment to exim.conf. What I'm struggling to find out is why it's suddenly needed and what the effects are

Not sure who the maintainer is or if he/she is on this list. Maybe they are on they EPEL mailing list. Here is the output of yum list exim: exim.x86_64 4.84.2-2.el7 epel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It is absolutely OK for you to discuss it here. I am just saying that you might be able to also find more help elsewhere too. Just wanted to make sure my other post is not misinterpreted 'take this off our list' .. it is instead a 'the helper you seek may not be subscribed here' :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
