Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.42
Severity: wishlist

Hi, for a project I needed to set the REPLYTO Header-Variable in the
notification mails send by apticron. 
To do this I've changed two things:

First I've added a REPLYTO-Field to the apticron.conf file like this:

REPLYTO="Reply-To:u...@host.com"

Then I've changed the mailx command in apticron from:

) 2>&1 | Mailx -s "$NUM_PACKAGES $MAILX_SUBJECT" $EMAIL

to:

) 2>&1 | Mailx -s "$NUM_PACKAGES $MAILX_SUBJECT" -a "$REPLYTO" $EMAIL

This way apticron is sending an E-Mail with a Replyto-Setting of my
choice, so I can install it on a customer's system and add their
people as Replyto. When updates are due I will get the mail and just
need to hit response to contact the customer in order to make an
appointment for a maintenance-window. 

Otherwise I would get the mail from apticron and after that I would
have to look up who I have to contact and enter that Mail-Adresses
manually as recipient.

The System in question is running kernel

2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 9 20:23:16 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and libc-2.11.2.so.

Kind Regards
