Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: logcheck
logcheck uses wrong mail-syntax to send its reports to multiple emailaddresses.
It uses quotes (cat /tmp/report | mail -s test "emailaddress1 emailaddress2")
which results in an error-message (at least when using exim4): "Can't send
mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1"
