Bug Description

exim4 supports the redis lookup since 4.91. Should be as simple as defining LOOKUP_REDIS=yes in the Makefile.

Thank you for taking the time to report a bug and make Ubuntu better.

This is a feature request, and as such it should be directed to the maintainer of the Debian exim4 package. We try to minimize our delta as much as possible, and maintaining an Ubuntu-only feature is only applicable in rare cases.

As it turns out, there is already a request to enable Redis support on Debian exim4. I'd suggest you to continue the discussion there.

Thank you.

Thanks; I did actually attempt to add the support myself in a merge request but I don't think I am doing it right. I am unfamiliar with the build process and tools and launchpad so I'm afraid I missed a step somewhere.
