Re: [SECURITY] [DSA-2154-1] exim4 security update



Hello,

as i was affected by the recent exim exploit i may be a bit paranoid
here, but i have general question on this update.

If i am not using -D or -C anywhere in my exim setup (e.g. using the
debian default initscripts and have not added any of those options in
/etc/default/exim4) and installed the update ... am i okay to go with
that?

Sorry for asking those stupid questions, but the instructions are a
little ambiguous there...

Kind Regards,
- Dario Ernst
