Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.63-7
Severity: normal
In the /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base script, it uses
echo -e "Subject: exim paniclog...\nTo: root\n..."
to send a mail to root about non-empty paniclog.
However this seems to only have desired result in bash. After I set my
/bin/sh to dash, I am getting mails about paniclog with empty subject,
but "-e Subject: exim paniclog on ..." in the mail body. Testing with
dash confirms that dash doesn't recognize the "-e" option, and just echo
it literally.
I have exim4 4.63-7 installed here, but I see that 4.63-8 has the same
cron script, so it should also apply. Also I removed the debconf and
exim4 configuration information, if they are needed, please let me know.
Thanks,
Ming
