Package: dma Version: 0.0.2010.06.17-11 Severity: normal (I'm the maintainer of the Debian package logwatch.)
In http://bugs.debian.org/642398 a user reported that dma fails to accept what it gets from logwatch. It turned out that logwatch's output does not end with a newline, rather it ends with newline followed by a space. This behaviour of logwatch is at least accepted by /usr/sbin/sendmail as implemented in courier and postfix (I use them), and probably most other mailers in Debian (I haven't received any other bug report concerning this issue). Based on the principle of "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept" I've fixed the problem in logwatch, but I think that this problem should also be fixed in dma. % cat > /tmp/testmail To: [email protected] Subject: test Hello World! ^D % /usr/sbin/sendmail -t < /tmp/testmail sendmail: can not read mail: Invalid argument % vs. % cat /tmp/testmail To: [email protected] Subject: test Hello World! ^D % /usr/sbin/sendmail -t < /tmp/testmail % -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dma depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.40 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii liblockfile1 1.09-3 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.0e-2 Versions of packages dma recommends: pn dma-migrate <none> pn safecat <none> dma suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/dma/auth.conf [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/dma/auth.conf' /etc/dma/dma.conf [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/dma/dma.conf' /etc/dma/virtusertable [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/dma/virtusertable' -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
