Package: esmtp-run
Version: 0.5.1-4
Severity: important
Justification: non-serious data loss; trivial workaround available
When there is only a default identity in the configuration file (IOW, no
identity directive), esmtp-run uses <> as the MAIL FROM. This happens
to cause a significant number of mail servers, including murphy and
spohr, to silently drop mail (since it looks like a bounce).
However, when identities are provided in the configuration file, this
bug does not occur; the first identity is used if no -f option is
specified. I did not test with a -f option.
While I don't expect that esmtp-run intuits the MAIL FROM value
(although I would not be upset if it did), at the very least the
documentation needs to be much clearer on this behavior. Logging to
syslog about the problem would be acceptable as well, as would using the
username and hostname (after stripping the port) options in the config
file.
This particular bug has hampered my mail-sending ability since
approximately June 2006, since I did not notice that esmtp-run sent with
<>. Thankfully, Loïc Minier pointed this out to me, and I worked around
it by setting several identities. If this message gets to the BTS, it
worked.
Thank you.
