Package: exim
Version: 3.12-10.2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/sendmail
Problem: sendmail uses -N <option> -R <option> to set DSN. This is
reflected in mutt, which will use -N <option> if dsn_notify is set.
However exim will not deliver messages if any "-N" flag appears in the
command line.
Coming from a sendmail-installation and keeping my .muttrc file, I was
stumped for several days why mail would not be sent out, even though
all logs showed green. No, the *> was _not_ enough, having never seen
exim-logfiles before. Only after turning on debugging _and_ comparing
every single switch the reason emerged.
Possible solution:
- return an error if a sendmail command line contains "-N <option>",
instead of just counting the "-N". This would alert the user to the
problem.
Workaround:
- "unset dsn_notify" in your mutt client or .muttrc file.
"set dsn_notify=none" will cause a "-N none" in the command line.
