Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-4 Severity: wishlist
It seems to me that the check_local_user router option should fail for system users. Some packages that create system users already put them in /etc/aliases pointing to root, but there are a number of system users on my machine that are not currently aliased to root. This seems like a maintenance hassle, and possibly a security problem. I suspect that if you agree with me, this would be a debian specific patch, not something upstream would accept; the concept of system users vs. regular users seems to be a debian concept introduced in adduser. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.50 #1 built 02-Mar-2005 07:42:40 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2004 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December 3, 2003) Support for: iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl GnuTLS Content_Scanning Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet' dc_other_hostnames='projectile.ca:lab403.com:groundworksdesign.ca:redthreaddesign.ca' dc_local_interfaces='' dc_readhost='projectile.ca' dc_relay_domains='' dc_minimaldns='false' dc_relay_nets='' dc_smarthost='' CFILEMODE='644' dc_use_split_config='true' dc_hide_mailname='false' dc_localdelivery='maildir_home' dc_mailname_in_oh='true' mailname:projectile.ca -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages exim4 depends on: ii exim4-base 4.50-4 support files for all exim MTA (v4 ii exim4-daemon-heavy 4.50-4 exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
