exim4 4.96-17ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

exim4 (4.96-17ubuntu1) mantic; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2030098). Remaining changes:
     - Disable external SPF support to avoid Build-Depends on libspf2-dev
       (only available in universe). SPF can still be implemented via
       spf-tools-perl, as documented in exim4.conf.template. This reverts
       Vcs-Git commit 494f1fe, first released in 4.95~RC0-1.
       (LP #1952738)
       + d/control: drop Build-Depends on libspf2-dev.
       + d/EDITME.exim4-heavy.diff: disable support for libspf2.
       + d/d/c/a/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt: restore SPF logic based
         on spfquery.mail-spf-perl from spf-tools-perl, but without
         the previously supported helo detection.
    - Show Ubuntu distribution in SMTP banner
      + d/p/fix_smtp_banner.patch: Show Ubuntu distribution
        in SMTP banner.
      + Build-Depends on lsb-release to detect Distribution.
  * Dropped:
    - d/p/fix-run--arg-parsing.patch: Fix argument parsing for ${run }
      expansion. Previously, when an argument included a close-brace
      character (e.g. it itself used an expansion) an error occurred.
      (LP #1998678)
      [Accepted by Debian in 4.96-16]

exim4: metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) installation

 Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent. exim4 is the metapackage depending
 on the essential components for a basic exim4 installation.
 .
 The Debian exim4 packages have their own web page,
 http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4. There is also a Debian-specific
 FAQ list. Information about the way the Debian packages are
 configured can be found in
 /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz, which additionally contains
 information about the way the Debian binary packages are built. The
 very extensive upstream documentation is shipped in
 /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/spec.txt.gz. To repeat the debconf-driven
 configuration process in a standard setup, invoke dpkg-reconfigure
 exim4-config. There is a Debian-centered mailing list,
 pkg-exim4-users@lists.alioth.debian.org. Please ask Debian-specific
 questions there, and only write to the upstream exim-users mailing
 list if you are sure that your question is not Debian-specific. You
 can find the subscription web page on
 http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exim4-users

exim4-base: support files for all Exim MTA (v4) packages

 Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent. exim4-base provides the support
 files needed by all exim4 daemon packages. You need an additional package
 containing the main executable. The available packages are:
 .
  exim4-daemon-light
  exim4-daemon-heavy
 .
 If you build exim4 from the source package locally, you can also
 build an exim4-daemon-custom package tailored to your own feature set.
 .

exim4-config: configuration for the Exim MTA (v4)

 Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent. exim4-config provides the configuration
 for the exim4 daemon packages. The configuration framework has been split
 off the main package to allow sites to replace the configuration scheme
 with their own without having to change the actual exim4 packages.
 .
 Sites with special configuration needs (having a lot of identically
 configured machines for example) can use this to distribute their own
 custom configuration via the packaging system, using the magic
 available with dpkg's conffile handling, without having to do local
 changes on all of these machines.
 .
