FWIW, I am content with the updated USN and agree with Won't Fix.

Bug against Bootmail is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bootmail/+bug/1414696 What do you suggest instead? I don't really have a suggestion and I am not disputing that this change was necessary. But the USN description doesn't even mention that specifying sendmail options after -- is no longer supported. After some back and forth (and seriously doubting my own sanity) I inferred that fact from the changelog which mentions a 83-nosendmail.patch. I just wish the USN advertised and documented this change and its full impact better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bsd-mailx in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414684 Title: bsd-mailx no longer supports sendmail options, thus breaking existing scripts (like Bootmail) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bsd-mailx/+bug/1414684/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

So I think it's a valid concern that this was broken, but the conclusion is that there's nothing that we can do about it since the choice is to leave users vulnerable or to break this edge case.

[Bug 1414684] Re: bsd-mailx no longer supports sendmail options, thus breaking existing scripts (like Bootmail)
I find it disconcerting that a security update completely removes functionality that has been available and expected for many years without providing a proper compatibility layer.
