FreeBSD port of Exim 4.96
I tried to upgrade to Exim 4.96 using recently updated FreeBSD port,
but got errors in paniclog:

2023-05-30 11:11:45 +0300 ACL for not-QUIT returned ERROR: failed to expand ACL string "${run{/bin/sh -c 'echo \\\"$sender_host_address${if match{$sender_host_address}{:}{/56}}\\\" >>$spool_directory/blocked_IPs; \N{\N echo Subject: blocked $sender_host_address $acl_c_country ${sg{${lookup dnsdb{>, defer_never,ptr=$sender_host_address}}}{\N[^\w.,-]\N}{}}; echo; echo for bruteforce auth cracking attempt.; \N}\N | $exim_path -f root Lena@lena.kiev.ua'}}": Expansion of "echo \\\"$sender_host_address${if match{$sender_host_address" from command "/bin/sh -c 'echo \\\"$sender_host_address${if match{$sender_host_address" in ${run} expansion failed: missing } at end of string

because expand.c needs the patch "Fix ${run } arg parsing":
https://git.exim.org/exim.git/commitdiff/44b6e099b76f403a55e77650821f8a69e9d2682e

But that patch fails. It needs another patch applied before that:
"Args count reduction in expansions coding"
https://git.exim.org/exim.git/commitdiff/d8fbda7da9eb20f98b89f625e8a77eacc443757d

But that patch also fails. I gave up and returned to 4.95.

Re: FreeBSD port of Exim 4.96 [ In reply to ]
That seems like a problem with the patches
chosen by the FreeBSD maintainer rather
than with Exim itself.
