Package: smartmontools
Version: 6.3+svn3990-1~bpo70+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
the Debian package smartmontools has options to send warning mails in various
situations.
For these cases the package provides a script
/usr/share/smartmontools/smartd_warning.sh
This script calls in default situations a mailer using the following comand line
mail -s "Subject" recipient1 [recipient2 [...]]
For that the package recommends two MTAs: 'mailx' or 'mailutils'. Both of these
packages do not provide a 'mail' binary or script nor neither does any other
standard Debian package (e.g. do 'apt-file search bin/mail')
Further it is not possible do simply specify another MTA like '-M exec sendmail'
in /etc/smartd.conf because standard MTAs do not accept the '-s' flag for
subject.
creating a simple script /usr/bin/mail do the job
#!/bin/sh
(echo "Subject: $2"; echo ; cat) | sendmail $3*
But that is not the Debian way. So the script
/usr/share/smartmontools/smartd_warning.sh
should be modified to do that job and work together with standard Debian MTAs.
