Package: nullmailer
Version: 1.05-1
Severity: minor
The Debian syslog patch to nullmailer causes successful mail submission to be
logged with a level of LOG_ERR, cluttering up the high-severity log
destinations. Fix attached.
FWIW, I'm actually running nullmailer-1.04 on Gentoo, which includes the
relevant patch from Debian - will report downstream as appropriate. The issue
is apparently still relevant for your 1.05-1 package.
Kind Regards,
Malte
