Bug#188564: ITP: exim-mysql -- An MTA (Mail Transport Agent) with mysql backend support.



On Apr 11, 2003 at 10:47, Philipp Kern praised the llamas by saying:

This is wrong. Philip Hazel is the upstream author. Mark Baker is the
maintainer for the exim packages. I suggest you talk to Mark and talk to
people on the exim4 mailing list, exim4debian@logic.univie.ac.at (CCed).

There is exim4 in experimental and they will be moved into sid in the
near future. There is a package with all the DB lookups compiled in. You
may want to look at that. Alternatively, you may want to create a
package with as many of the lookups that you can like pgsql. There is no
point in having an exim, exim-mysql, exim-pgsql etc packages. You may
want to call the package something like exim-heavy.
