-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: nullmailer Version: 1:1.13-1+deb8u1 Severity: important
The latest update (installed by apt) from 1:1.13-1 to 1:1.13-1+deb8u1 corrupted my nullmailer remotes configuration. I'm using a somewhat cryptic password with special chars. Something during the update process replaced a colon in the password by a new line. This caused nullmailer to stop operating and all emails queued up (obviously), since it could not login to the SMTP server. Here's an anonymized diff of the remotes before and after the update (glad I have /etc in VCS by etckeeper): diff --git a/nullmailer/remotes b/nullmailer/remotes index debc368..71ef120 100644 - --- a/nullmailer/remotes +++ b/nullmailer/remotes @@ -1 +1,2 @@ - -server.example.com smtp --port=465 --pass=something:#6 --user=123 --ssl +server.example.com smtp --port=465 --pass=something +#6 --user=123 --ssl - -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages nullmailer depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.8-6+deb8u3 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 Versions of packages nullmailer recommends: ii rsyslog [system-log-daemon] 8.4.2-1+deb8u2 nullmailer suggests no packages. - -- debconf information excluded -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAlfsPwsACgkQKmk3pLlDYV61eACgg90SVGNkdWqOF5aAzlAKBwcH RVkAnicv58zfDiah0ObT8LaBSrsOju60 =aY/k -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
