Package: smail
Version: 3.2.0.102-1
We have an NIS alias database, directing various users' mail to different
machines. Here is the correct output of smail under Debian 2.0 when
examined with mail -v:
intech5:~$ echo test | mail -v camm
write_log:Received FROM:camm PROGRAM:send-mail SIZE:74
director aliases: matched camm, aliased to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
owner postmaster
directed camm@(no-parent-target) --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
director aliases: matched camm, aliased to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
owner postmaster
directed [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... match localhost, pass
camm to next director
director user matched user camm
transport local uses driver appendfile
appendfile: write to file /var/spool/mail/camm
write_log:Delivered TO:camm ORIG-TO:camm DIRECTOR:user TRANSPORT:local
write_log:Completed.
Here is what happens now with Debian 2.1:
intech8:~$ echo test | mail -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]
write_log:Received FROM:camm PROGRAM:send-mail SIZE:118
director aliases: matched marie, aliased to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
owner postmaster
directed marie@(no-parent-target) --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: has already been seen -- skipping.
write_log:no valid recipients were found for this message
write_log:Completed.
Looking through the change log, this seems to pertain to the following:
- Duplicate addresses are now checked for in two stages -- first
as literal duplicates without parsing right down to the mailbox,
and then secondly after directing and routing is done by target
address and transport name. This once and for all fixes the
problem where virtual hosts using the directors domains
attribute (for example) could not receive copies of messages
that were also delivered to local users with the same mailbox
name.
Thanks for your contributions to Debian!

Version: 3.2.0.115-7.1+rm
The smail package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/474068 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
