tag 445071 patch
thanks
Please find attached a patch against Debian *Unstable* to fix
interaction with logchecker (currently, the problem is that anyone who
installed both logchecker and ssmtp will receive a logcheck email every
hour saying that a mail was sent 1 hour ago... to logcheck :)
changelog:
> * logchecker: add a "paranoid" rule to ignore mail sent by logcheck!
> * Fix logcheck file format, Thanks to Frédéric Brière for the fix.
> Closes: #445071, #495760
> * Make logcheck file readable by logcheck. Closes: #492884
Regards,
Franklin
P.S. I have sent another patch, targeted to Lenny, which is less
intrusive, but still reduces some of the noise due to
ssmtp/logcheck bug.
