Yes. I hadn't looked at that web page until today. My guess was
based on what was being set in the locality of that line number.
However, I'm running exim4 and it appears that we won't even have
the same version installed if these instructions are being followed.
Paul's comment (there) would suggest that great care is needed
with such a complicated setup. It looks as if it's easy for
database *commands* to get accidentally passed to exim rather than
the database's data.
In view of "Any suggestions for what to do with exim4 to get it
restarted. I do not know what the error messeges here are
referencing. Im very inexperienced with setting up email.",
Adam's closing comment is probably worth revisiting.
Cheers,
David.
