+Exim maintainers discovered that version 4.88 has some serious problems |
| 29 |
+with its CHUNKING extension. To quote: |
| 30 |
+ |
| 31 |
+ There are various known problems which can result in messages stuck in |
| 32 |
+ queues and remote servers dropping connections on larger mails. |
| 33 |
+ |
| 34 |
+In Gentoo, Exim 4.88 is the only stable version available, hence all |
| 35 |
+Exim users are advised to either upgrade to an unstable 4.89 release |
| 36 |
+candidate, or patch the configuration as follows: |
| 37 |
+ |
| 38 |
+1) in the main configuration section, add: |
| 39 |
+ |
| 40 |
+ chunking_advertise_hosts = |
| 41 |
+ |
| 42 |
+2) for each SMTP transport, add: |
| 43 |
+ |
| 44 |
+ hosts_try_chunking = |
| 45 |
+ |
| 46 |
+Please see also the announcement sent to exim-announce: |
