I just upgraded my mail server and I get the following error. I thought I accepted the recommended changes. What do I need to do? brian catalyst:/var/log/exim4# /etc/init.d/exim4 restart Stopping MTA for restart:DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the suggested conffile changes. Please read /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz for 4.67-2 and 4.67-4 exim4_listener. -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.
