DKIM error (acl_smtp_dkim) in panic_log - Exim 4.71

Hello Exim users!

Since my update to Exim 4.71 I'm using DKIM. DKIM signing works as well
as DKIM verification. But sometimes I get message in the panic_log like
this one:

2010-02-02 09:01:01 Exim configuration error in line 131 of /usr/exim/configure:
main option "acl_smtp_dkim" unknown

How can "acl_smtp_dkim" be unknown??? Did anyone observe this "unknown"
error in the panic_log? I don't have any other traces in the main_log.
Everything is working well!

This is my line 130/131:

# DKIM
acl_smtp_dkim = acl_check_dkim

dkim_verify_signers = $sender_address_domain:$dkim_signers

.
.
.

# Verification of DKIM signature
acl_check_dkim:
# Again?
accept condition = ${if def:h_X-DKIM-Status:{1}}

# Initialize
warn set acl_m8 = unset

# Add status to header: PASS
warn dkim_status = pass
add_header = X-DKIM-Status: $dkim_verify_status ($dkim_cur_signer)

# Add status to header: INVALID or FAIL
warn dkim_status = invalid:fail
add_header = X-DKIM-Status: $dkim_verify_status ($dkim_verify_reason)

# Add status to header: MISSING; certain domains which should have a signature
warn log_message = Sender '$sender_address_domain' without DKIM signature
sender_domains = gmail.com:yahoo.com:yahoo.de:paypal.com:paypal.de
dkim_status = none
add_header = X-DKIM-Status: missing ($dkim_cur_signer)
set acl_m8 = missing

# Add status to header: NONE; all others
warn dkim_status = none
condition = ${if eq{$acl_m8}{missing}{false}{true}}
add_header = X-DKIM-Status: $dkim_verify_status ($dkim_cur_signer)

accept

The idea behind the ACL is to add a header to provide status information
about DKIM to the clients: PASS, FAIL, INVALID, MISSING, NONE.

Are you sure, there is no old exim running on your server? Maybe a link
/usr/bin/Mail->exim_4.69?

I'm sure there is not 4.69 running. I walked into this trap a few years
ago, so I checked the timestamp and tried 'exim -bV' too. BTW: The doc
says "If there are any errors in the configuration file, 'exim -bV'
outputs error messages."

The timestamp pattern seems to be interesting. It look's like a regular
basis. Maybe the queue runner.

Yes, "mail". I wondered about the timestamp pattern. The pattern matched
my crontab where I use "mail". "mail" uses "/usr/bin/sendmail" and
sometimes in the past I have replaced the "sendmail" by "exim" (4.69)
:->>>>

I should do a better documentation about what I have modified in the
past ...
