Package: postgrey
Version: 1.17-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
At the moment it doesn't seem possible to pass an argument with spaces
via /etc/default/postgrey to postgrey, because the shell doesn't expand
an argument multiple times.
To be more specifix, I'm unable to find a way to pass
--greylist-text="Text with blanks" to postgrey in a workable manner.
I think a good way around all this would be a bit of shuffling around,
and to use an array for the options. For example, moving the options in
/etc/init.d/postgrey further up:
POSTGREY_OPTS="--pidfile=$PIDFILE --daemonize"
# Read config file if it is present.
if [ -r /etc/default/$NAME ]
then
. /etc/default/$NAME
fi
change the call from start-stop-daemon:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE \
--exec $DAEMON -- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
and, finally, have /etc/default/postgrey contain:
POSTGREY_OPTS=($POSTGREY_OPTS --inet=127.0.0.1:60000 --delay=10
"--greylist-text=Text with blanks.")
This way, one can make use of all of postgrey's options in a clean manner.
cheers,
&rw
