Package: amavisd-new Version: 1:2.7.1-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I recently switched to amavisd-new and noticed that the amavis cronjob tried to sent the following mail to amavis@mydomain: --- SNIP --- From: Cron Daemon <root@mydomain> Subject: Cron <amavis@mydomain> test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob && /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync config: created user preferences file: /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/user_prefs --- SNIP --- I didn't have a mailbox for this account, so the mail got stuck in the MTA queues. Since there are n+1 MTA/MDA I think the easiest and most "portable" solution would be: add an alias entry into /etc/aliases. E.g.: amavis: root Now the mail gets redirected to root [or postmaster]. which is kind of what other programs like "logcheck" already do. So maybe the debian preinstall code which is executed during the installation can be copied from there?
