Exim maintainers discovered that version 4.88 has some serious problems
|
|
with its CHUNKING extension. To quote:
|
|
|
|
There are various known problems which can result in messages stuck in
|
|
queues and remote servers dropping connections on larger mails.
|
|
|
|
In Gentoo, Exim 4.88 is the only stable version available, hence all
|
|
Exim users are advised to either upgrade to an unstable 4.89 release
|
|
candidate, or patch the configuration as follows:
|
|
|
|
1) in the main configuration section, add:
|
|
|
|
chunking_advertise_hosts =
|
|
|
|
2) for each SMTP transport, add:
|
|
|
|
hosts_try_chunking =
|
|
|
|
