Packages available in experimental. I haven't tested these myself yet, so treat with care. I won't have a chance to do so until alter tonight.

Ok, the update in experimental seem reasonable to me. Please test and let me know your experience.

Ben,

I've tested the new build on a couple of servers and it looks ok so far.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Darren,

Are you by any chance using either of the mysql or postgresql lookup facilities? My own exim use is as a smarthost relay, so I'm not personally using any of these advanced lookup types.

Thanks
