Package: ssmtp Version: 2.64-3 Severity: critical Tags: patch Hi,
The recent change to install ssmtp sgid mail broke the possibility to use the -C flag to select an alternative config file. This break unrelated system configurations (eg, my git couldn't send mail anymore). I think -C + suid/sgid is disabled for security reasons, and considering I've been keeping my passwords secure by putting them in separate files and calling ssmtp with -C (which means I can also use different mailhubs) this broke my setup. Removing the sgid bit fixed the problem. Please install the /etc config file as readable by anybody, and revert the sgid fix (so that #567906 is not broken again) and then add a comment there explaining how to change it that way if one wants, and the -C option as well, and that it's otherwise unsecure to put passwords there. Then the sgid change can be reverted.
