Package: exim4-config Version: 4.96-15+deb12u6 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: d...@darkboxed.org
Hi Andreas, exim4-config's accepts mail for system users such as 'daemon' when local delivery is enabled. I find this unexpected and undesirable: who's ever going to read these? They just land in /var/mail and aren't forwarded to root like postmaster et al. I reproduced this on a fresh bookworm system with dc_eximconfig_configtype=smarthost, but on my real mailserver I deliver using dovecot lmtp (a common setup AFAIK), which (temp)rejects system users due to dovecot's first_valid_uid=1000 default. This causes (exclusively spam) for system users get stuck in the mailq which is ugly. Is this intentional? Do you think it's still useful? Thanks, --Daniel
