Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.72-6+squeeze2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
/etc/cron.daily/exim4-base sends out an email containing the daily report.
The command that it uses to do this does not work when heirloom-mailx is in use
as /usr/bin/mail. The Subject option is given after the recipient address and
has
no space between '-s' and the subject string.
This needs fixing in two places in the script.
