Description Marcin Semeniuk 2008-10-04 18:52:36 UTC 
There is some typo in default exim config file. After fresh install exim fail to  start with error:
exim[2252]: [1\2] 2008-10-04 20:31:12 Exim configuration error in line 619 of /etc/exim/exim.conf:
exim[2252]: [2/2]   option "m" unknown

I found that exim-4.69-r1.27021.patch add this "m". After removing that "m" from config file exim starts normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge exim with USEflags  "ipv6 logrotate pam perl ssl syslog tcpd"
2. cp /etc/exim/exim.conf.dist /etc/exim/exim.conf
3. /etc/init.d/exim start

Actual Results:  
ERROR: exim failed to start

Expected Results:  
exim starts

Comment 2 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-24 13:33:15 UTC 
Reassign to net-mail herd as peitolm retires
Comment 3 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-07-02 20:33:04 UTC 
Thanks, I suppose everyone has fixed this by now, so bumping for this sort of needlessly lets everyone recompile.

I removed the bad hunk from the patch.
