Public bug reported:
I recently installed msmtp on my ubuntu 20.04 system and had to make the
following changes so that different users could write to the one log
file /var/log/msmtp/msmtp.log
1. Create /var/log/msmtp with group msmtp and setgid permissions drwxrws---
2. Add acl to /var/log/msmtp - setfacl -Rdm g:msmtp:rwx /var/log/msmtp
3. Remove owner for /var/log/msmtp from apparmor file
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.msmtp
4. Document that msmtp users need to be in msmtp unix group.
I consider this to be a bug rather than an enhancement because
/var/log/msmtp is referenced in various places. Logging to users home
directory works fine.
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Package: msmtp/focal,now 1.8.6-1 amd64
Thanks to the development team for this great product.
