Bug #13031: mailaliases
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13031
Author: Andrew Ring
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: mailalias
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2
Keywords:
Branch:
I thought I was being cleaver and used the mailaliases type to manage both the
/etc/aliases file and the /etc/email-addresses file on my systems as their
formating is the same for Exim4. (/etc/email-addresses needs to be managed due
to $work's email filtering rules.)
Unfortunately, when the "name" agrument is the same in both, the entry for
/etc/aliases is written repeatedly.
The following has been sanitized. Typos are possible.
>From script managing /etc/aliases:
mailalias { $user:
ensure => present,
name => $user,
recipient => $email,
notify => Exec["new_aliases"],
target => "/etc/aliases",
}
>From script managing /etc/email-addresses:
mailalias { from-${user}:
ensure => present,
name => $user,
recipient => $email,
target => "/etc/email-addresses",
}
Output from every puppet run is:
notice: /Stage[main]/Etc_email-addresses_$user/Mailalias[from-$user]/recipient:
recipient changed 'root' to '$email'
notice: /Stage[main]/Etc_email-addresses_$user/Mailalias[from-$user]/target:
target changed '/etc/aliases' to '/etc/email-addresses'
info: FileBucket adding /etc/aliases as {md5}ba206591fc3d135c8c1366deabfc0e00
info: FileBucket adding /etc/email-addresses as
{md5}1b8b12e534051e667d25353728421ca4
notice: /Stage[main]/Etc_aliases_sbgrid/Mailalias[$user]/ensure: created
/etc/aliases now reads:
$user: $email
$user: $email
$user: $email
$user: $email
$user: $email
/etc/email-addresses reads:
$user: $email
While for my issue I could revert to augeas scripts, this is unexpected
behavior.
I am running puppet version: 2.6.2-5+squeeze4
