DIAGNOSTICS
Error: Errors when closing Exim mailer $program: $!
The Exim mail transfer agent did start, but was not able to handle the message correctly.
Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
