Package: exim4-base Version: 4.72-6+squeeze2 Severity: normal Tags: patch
/etc/cron.daily/exim4-base sends out an email containing the daily report. The command that it uses to do this does not work when heirloom-mailx is in use as /usr/bin/mail. The Subject option is given after the recipient address and has no space between '-s' and the subject string. This needs fixing in two places in the script. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.72 #1 built 12-May-2011 18:51:33 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge, 1995 - 2007 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl Expand_dlfunc GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning DKIM Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql sqlite Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl dovecot plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 GnuTLS compile-time version: 2.8.6 GnuTLS runtime version: 2.8.6 Configuration file is /etc/exim4/exim4.conf -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages exim4-base depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii cron 3.0pl1-116 process scheduling daemon ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4-config [exim4-con 4.72-6+squeeze2 configuration for the Exim MTA (v4 ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.8 4.8.30-2 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.45 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages exim4-base recommends: ii heirloom-mailx [mailx] 12.4-2 feature-rich BSD mail(1) ii perl-modules 5.10.1-17squeeze2 Core Perl modules ii psmisc 22.11-1 utilities that use the proc file s Versions of packages exim4-base suggests: pn exim4-doc-html | exim4 <none> (no description available) pn eximon4 <none> (no description available) ii file 5.04-5 Determines file type using "magic" ii mutt [mail-reader] 1.5.20-9+squeeze1 text-based mailreader supporting M ii openssl 0.9.8o-4squeeze7 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a pn spf-tools-perl <none> (no description available) pn swaks <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base changed: if [ -n "$EX4DEBUG" ]; then echo "now debugging $0 $@" set -x fi E4BCD_DAILY_REPORT_TO="" E4BCD_DAILY_REPORT_OPTIONS="" E4BCD_WATCH_PANICLOG="yes" E4BCD_PANICLOG_LINES="10" E4BCD_PANICLOG_NOISE="" if [ ! -x /usr/lib/exim4/exim4 ]; then exit 0 fi [ -f /etc/default/exim4 ] && . /etc/default/exim4 SPOOLDIR="$(exim4 -bP spool_directory | sed 's/.*=[[:space:]]\(.*\)/\1/')" E4BCD_MAINLOG_NOISE="^[[:digit:][:space:]:-]\{20\}\(\(Start\|End\) queue run: pid=[[:digit:]]\+\|exim [[:digit:]\.]\+ daemon started: pid=[[:digit:]]\+, .*\)$" if [ -n "$E4BCD_DAILY_REPORT_TO" ]; then if [ -x "$(command -v eximstats)" ] && [ -x "$(command -v mail)" ]; then if [ "$(< /var/log/exim4/mainlog grep -v "$E4BCD_MAINLOG_NOISE" | wc -l)" -gt "0" ]; then < /var/log/exim4/mainlog grep -v "$E4BCD_MAINLOG_NOISE" \ | eximstats $E4BCD_DAILY_REPORT_OPTIONS \ | mail -s "$(hostname --fqdn) Daily e-mail activity report" $E4BCD_DAILY_REPORT_TO else echo "no mail activity in this interval" \ | mail -s "$(hostname --fqdn) Daily e-mail activity report" $E4BCD_DAILY_REPORT_TO fi else echo "The exim4 cron job is configured to send a daily report, but eximstats" echo "and/or mail cannot be found.
