I don't know. I simply removed the above portion of the packaged script and made my own logrotate configuration. I highly doubt you'll run into problems there by updating the package -- the package won't have any newer releases. The new version is packaged as 'exim4'. Additionally you can check the list in /var/lib/dpkg/info/exim.conffiles to see if the file is marked as config. If it is, then dpkg will prompt you during an upgrade. -D -- But As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/
