It looks I accidentally changed status of this bug from "Triaged" to "Fix Released" (I clicked "fix released" in hope it will take me to the version in which it was fixed, but that wasn't a link, but an update action).
I'm not sure how I even could change status, since I'm not maintainer. I've tried, but I cannot revert this change. Anyway, please somebody, revert status of tris to "Triaged". ** Changed in: cron (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cron in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750051 Title: cron doesn't support MAILFROM Status in cron package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in cron package in Debian: New Bug description: Ubuntu's cron version doesn't support setting MAILFROM to set the "From:" header of cron generated emails. This feature would be nice to have and bring parity with RHEL/CentOS which has it since RHEL 6: $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.6 (Final) $ man 5 crontab | grep -1 FROM doesn´t do aliasing, and UUCP usually doesn´t read its mail. If MAIL- FROM is defined (and non-empty), it will be used as the envelope sender address, otherwise, ‘‘root’’ will be used. $ apt-cache policy cron cron: Installed: 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 Candidate: 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 Version table: *** 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: cron 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-116.140-generic 4.4.98 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-116-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.15 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Feb 16 15:52:54 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-12-06 (436 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Beta amd64 (20161206) SourcePackage: cron UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron/+bug/1750051/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
