Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: diffmon

The problem is related to the install - or better finishing install -
routine of diffmon.

Diffmon uses a lot of mail addresses for reporting things which where found 
during a diffmon run.
Unfortunately all of these email addresses are unknown for the mail system an 
so you qwill receive lots of undeliverable mails each time diffmon runs.

I would suggest to include something like the following in the install
script.

#!/bin/bash
MailAddresses=( diffmon $( grep -v ^$ /etc/diffmon/diffmon.cf | grep -v -e 
"^[[:blank:]]*#" | awk -F: '{ print $NF }' | sed "s/,[[:blank:]]*/\t/g" | paste 
-s ) )
SortedMailAddresses=( $( echo ${MailAddresses[*]} | awk '{ for ( i=1 ; i <= NF 
; i++ )  print $i }' | sort -u ) )
for Address in [EMAIL PROTECTED]; do
        if [ -z "$( grep -e "^[[:blank:]]*${Address}:" /etc/aliases )" ]; then
                echo "$Address: root" >> /etc/aliases
        fi
done    
newaliases
