Package: ssmtp
Version: 2.61
The ssmtp header file contains a hard-coded cutoff to define system id's
versus user id's, which is 1000. This is sufficient for many systems,
but often user ids dip below this limit for other systems. For example,
on a system I partially administer, I have several legacy user ids that
are well below 1000, like 220, 383, etc.
For such cases, it is convenient to expose the header definition for
MAXSYSID as a ssmtp.conf setting. The following tiny patch (ssmtp.c and
ssmtp.conf) exposes this setting. The convention is exposed as a
minimum user id setting to enable a "round number" of 1000 as the
default, instead of 999 as used by ssmtp.h.
I have found this helpful for my system. Maybe others will find it
helpful also. I hope you will consider adding this patch to the mainline.
(BTW, I am a Gentoo user. Sorry for the email submission.)
Thanks,
Trevor
