Public bug reported: RFC 3834 recommends the use of appropriate Precedence and Auto-submitted headers for programs that automatically respond to email. While the debian/ubuntu version of vacation looks for both these headers (at least as of 3.3.1), it generates neither of them, leading to unnecessary processing for other mail systems as well as spurious responses to the vacation auto message. This feature was asked for in the same bug report that led to the check for the Auto-submitted header, but appears to have been overlooked (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496916).
This bug effects all supported versions of Ubuntu (including Jammy Jellyfish). The provided patch was made against vacation-3.3.3 If it would be more appropriate to report this bug to debian, please let me know. ** Affects: vacation (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "Patch to add rfc3834 recommended headers" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969795/+attachment/5582134/+files/add-rfc3834-headers.patch.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969795 Title: vacation doesn't add recommended rfc3834 headers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vacation/+bug/1969795/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
