Dear Maintainer,
to remote controll our ticketing system, we had add custom mail headers to the
reports send by apticron.
The attached patch allows us to do so at least with bsd-mailx. I don't know how
others mailx implementation might
work.
With tha attached patch, you can simply configure as many e-mail headers as
desired by adding a CUSTOM_HEADER[x] array
to /etc/apticron/apticron.conf:
CUSTOM_HEADER[1]="X-OTRS-Priority: 3 normal - prio 3"
CUSTOM_HEADER[2]="X-OTRS-Queue: foo::bar::baz"
CUSTOM_HEADER[3]="X-OTRS-Service: Linux Operating System"
CUSTOM_HEADER[4]="X-OTRS-SenderType: system"
CUSTOM_HEADER[5]="X-OTRS-Loop: false"
CUSTOM_HEADER[6]="X-OTRS-DynamicField-foo: bar"
Best regards,
Alexander
PS: Thanks to Ansgar Burchardt for recommending the usage of arrays for this.
