Package: msmtp
Version: 1.8.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I wonder how appropriate the current Apparmor configuration is for
msmtp. Story time:

- After dist-upgrading my system to buster, my msmtp setup stopped
  working.
- I invoke msmtp as: msmtp -C /home/f/cfg/msmtp/msmtpall
  It exited with this error: msmtpall: Permission denied
- The reason and fix for this were clearly illustrated in
  NEWS.Debian.gz; the fix involved some messing with /etc/

Everything went fine but I wonder: should I be touching /etc/ to
configure a program I run as a user with a config that is located
in my $HOME?
What if I had not root access?

Thanks for your time!
