Package: logcheck Version: 1.3.3 Severity: important Hello!
The latest version of logchecks no longer sent mails for me, gave an error instead: > Auto-Submitted: auto-generated: No such file or directory This is due to > MAILARGS="-a 'Auto-Submitted: auto-generated'" in /usr/sbin/logcheck. Option -a wants to attach a file to the mail with at least the MUAs mutt and mailx from package heirloom-mailx. Hotfix: I have added the following to logcheck.conf: > # Override buggy MAILARGS in /usr/sbin/logcheck > MAILARGS="" A real fix might be to use the sendmail binary to send mails. The following works: > echo -e "Subject: sub\nX-Test: myheader\n\nmail body\n" | sendmail butch I always use sendmail to send emails from scripts or cron jobs. Giving mail headers on STDIN works for ../bin/sendmail provided by Sendmail and Exim packages at least. You'd might have to check for other MTAs, but that should be less work than checking all MUAs. And in my opinion MTAs try to be command line compatible to sendmail - at least more than user tools.
