Description Udo Beckmann 2003-11-27 13:12:11 UTC

The depend() function in exim's init script should contain the line "provide 
mta". The counterpart of it is used by fetchmail ("use mta" in /etc/init.d/
fetchmail), Mail-Spamassassin ("before mta" in /etc/init.d/spamd) and probably 
others. Please see also bug #22833 
 
BTW: In the portage tree only the init scripts of postfix and sendmail contain 
a line "provide mta". So the problem discribed also exists for other mta's 

Reproducible: Always
