Re: exim4: avoiding "retry time not reached for any host"

["Predrag Gavrilovic" <gavrilovic@gmail.com>]

I don't understand you.

bug 32877 is about not being able to merge old and new configuration
files, and I don't think it would be smart thing to do across major
version upgrades.

And even then you allways have the option to keep the old file. Nothig
gets blindly overwritten.
And that goes only for major version updates. Minor security updates
go with no problem at all.
My exim4.conf.template survived at least one security update
unchanged, as it should.

exim4.conf.template is THE place where you confiure Exim4 on debian.
