Package: courier-mta Version: 0.37.3-2.5 Severity: important
When this file is missing, SMTP authentication will not work. Users
that relay on the affected server for outgoing mail (typically users with
laptops that use one SMTP-server with authentication from wherever they access the Internet) will be unable to send email. This
affects the reliability on Debian-servers that are set up for automatic
unattended upgrades (like most of the 30 - 40 servers I'm responsible for).
This is caused by a mistake in a prerm script, and I will also not be fixed for woody. (It is fixed in sarge). As temporary solution, you could modify the init.d script of courier-mta to ensure the file exists (Copy it from another place if it does not exist.)
Something like that at beginning of /etc/init.d/courier-mta: test -e /etc/courier/authmodulelist || cp \ /etc/courier/authmodulelist.persistent /etc/courier/authmodulelist
Note that automatic upgrades are not recommended. If you have 30 - 40 servers, you should probably use a more sophisticated method to ensure the updates don't break anything. (Use your own repository of tested packages, etc..)
