Test 0142 tests open file descriptors; on some hosts the output may vary. +. Some tests may fail, for example 0022, because it says it uses cached data + when the expected output thinks it should not be in cache. Item #5 in the + Requirements section has: + "Exim must be built with its user and group specified at build time" + This means that you cannot use the "ref:username" in your Local/Makefile + when building the exim binary, in any of the following fields: + EXIM_USER EXIM_GROUP CONFIGURE_OWNER CONFIGURE_GROUP + +. If the runtest script warns that the hostname is not a Fully Qualified + Domain Name (FQDN), expect that some tests will fail, for example 0036, + with an extra log line saying the hostname doesn't resolve. You must use a + FQDN for the hostname for proper test functionality. + +. If your hostname has an uppercase characters in it, expect that some tests + will fail, for example, 0036, because some log lines will have the hostname + in all lowercase. The regex which extracts the hostname from the log lines + will not match the lowercased version. + +. Some tests may fail, for example 0015, with a cryptic error message: + Server return code 99 + Due to security concerns, some specific files MUST have the group write bit + off. For the purposes of the test suite, some test/aux-fixed/* files MUST + have the group write bit off, so it's easier to just remove the group write + bit for all of them.
