Package: smartmontools Version: 6.3+svn3990-1~bpo70+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the Debian package smartmontools has options to send warning mails in various situations. For these cases the package provides a script /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd_warning.sh This script calls in default situations a mailer using the following comand line mail -s "Subject" recipient1 [recipient2 [...]] For that the package recommends two MTAs: 'mailx' or 'mailutils'. Both of these packages do not provide a 'mail' binary or script nor neither does any other standard Debian package (e.g. do 'apt-file search bin/mail') Further it is not possible do simply specify another MTA like '-M exec sendmail' in /etc/smartd.conf because standard MTAs do not accept the '-s' flag for subject. creating a simple script /usr/bin/mail do the job #!/bin/sh (echo "Subject: $2"; echo ; cat) | sendmail $3* But that is not the Debian way. So the script /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd_warning.sh should be modified to do that job and work together with standard Debian MTAs.
