Dear Debian maintainer, On Saturday, February 02, 2008, I sent you a notification about the beginning of a review action on debconf templates for mailagent.
Then, I sent you a bug report with rewritten templates and announcing the beginning of the second phase of this action: call for translation updates. Translators have been working hard and here is now the result of their efforts. Please consider using it EVEN if you committed files to your development tree as long as they were reported. The attached tarball contains: - debian/changelog with the list of changes - debian/control with rewrites of packages' descriptions - debian/<templates> with all the rewritten templates file(s) - debian/po/*.po with all PO files (existing ones and new ones) As said, please use *at least* the PO files as provided here, preferrably over those sent by translators in their bug reports. All of them have been checked and reformatted. In some cases, formatting errors have been corrected. The patch.rfr file contains a patch for the templates and control file(s) alone. Please note that this patch applies to the templates and control file(s) of your package as of Saturday, February 02, 2008. If your package was updated in the meantime, I may have updated my reference copy....but I also may have missed that. This is indeed why I suggested you do not modified such files while the review process was running, remember..:-) It is now safe to upload a new package version with these changes. Please notify me of your intents with regards to this. There is of course no hurry to update your package but feel free to contact me in case you would need sponsoring or any other action to fix this. --

-_Description: Name of your organization:
- You don't seem to have an /etc/news/organization file. Usually that
- contains the name of your organization as you want it to appear on
- the Organization line of outgoing articles/mail/patches. Please
- supply the name of your organization as you want it to appear in
- those places. (It would be useful if this also specifies your
- location. Your city name is probably sufficient if well known.) For
- example: .
- University of Southern North Dakota, Hoople
+_Description: Organization name:
+ The /etc/news/organization file does not exist. That file contains
+ the name of the organization this server belongs to so that it
+ appears on the Organization line of outgoing articles, mail or patches.
.
- Type in "--none--" if you do not want to specify one.
+ Please enter the name of the organization as you want it to appear in
+ those places. It is common practice to add a city name to the organization
+ name, for instance:
+ University of Southern North Dakota, Hoople
+ .
+ If you enter "--none--", no organization name will be setup.

Architecture: any
-Description: An automatic mail-processing tool and filter.
- Mailagent allows you to process your mail automatically. This has
- far more functionality than procmail, and is easier to configure
- (providing, of course, that you grok perl). As a mail processing
- tool, this slices, it dices, it ...
- .
- Given a set of lex-like rules, you are able to file mails to specific
- folders (plain Unix-style folders and also MMDF and MH ones), forward
- messages to a third person, pipe a message to a command or even post
- the message to a newsgroup.
- .
- It is also possible to process messages containing some commands.
- .
- You may also set up a vacation program, which will automatically
- answer your mail while you are not there, but more flexibly than the
- Unix command of the same name. You only need to supply a message to
- be sent and the frequency at which this will occur. Some simple macro
- substitutions allow you to re-use some parts of the mail header into
- your vacation message, for a more personalized reply.
- .
- You may also set up a generic mail server, without the hassle of the
- lower-level concerns like error recovery, logging or command parsing.
- .
- The mailagent is not usually invoked manually but is rather called
- via the filter program, which is in turn invoked by sendmail. That
- means you must have sendmail/smail on your system to use this. You
- also must have perl to run the mailagent scripts.
- .
- It is possible to extend the mailagent filtering commands by
- implementing them in perl and then having them automagically loaded
- when used.
- .
- Please note that on Debian systems, mailagent can not lock /var/spool/mail
- directory mailboxes, and thus one must put a catch all rule saving all mail
- in ones home directory. This is because Debian MDA policy requires them to
- be setgid mail, and making anything as extensible as mailagent setgid
- anything negates any benefit of having group permission protection.
+Description: automatic mail-processing tool and filter
+ Mailagent is a mail delivery agent, and can be programmed to
+ respond to mail in ways more sophisticated than a mail filtering
+ program like procmail. It is easy to configure, and very easy to
+ extend using Perl. Not only can the base functionality be
+ extended, new commands and processing methods can be added in a
+ modular fashion.
+ .
+ Obeying lex-like rulesets, mailagent can file mails to specific
+ folders (plain Unix-style folders and also MMDF and MH ones),
+ forward messages to third parties, pipe them to commands or post
+ them to newsgroups. The filtering commands that are executed on
+ the messages can be extended, and may rewrite the message headers
+ or body as desired. It can also create and process commands based
+ on key words contained in the body of the mail message.
+ .
+ Mailagent can be used as a vacation program, and can answer mail
+ automatically and with more flexibility than the command of that
+ name. A template can be provided for the body of the response,
+ and the frequency of vacation mails can also be specified. Simple
+ macro substitutions allow parts of the mail header to be recycled
+ into the vacation messages, for a more personalized reply.
+ .
+ Mailagent can also be used to set up a generic mail server,
+ without the hassle of the lower-level concerns like error
+ recovery, logging or command parsing.
+ .
+ Please note that on Debian systems, mailagent requires a catch-all
+ rule saving all mail into the user's home directory. Unlike other
+ Mail Delivery Agents such as procmail, mailagent is too extensible
+ to be safely made setgid mail, and so cannot lock /var/spool/mail
+ mailboxes.
