Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.29 Severity: minor The 'bts' command constructs a message setting the 'From' field to the value specified in the environment variable 'EMAIL' or 'DEBEMAIL'.
The same address should also be used for the SMTP envelope MAIL FROM command. Without this, the SMTP envelope is often *wrong*: it uses an arbitrary address that may not be appropriate for messages sent to the internet. Since 'bts' is acting as a MUA in this process, it should be setting the MAIL FROM address to the explicitly-requested value. One way this can be done is by invocing '/usr/bin/sendmail' using the '-f $fromaddress' option. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-powerpc64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_AU.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.14.19 package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.10.0-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
