Hi,
Just to follow up, ..
Frst, my script example used "cat" for /etc/mailname. Since it may contain
comments, I guess
$(grep -m1 -v -e '^#' -e '^ *$' /etc/mailname)
may have been better.
I checked how popular to assume /etc/mailname not being localhost but ISP or
debian.org like FQDN on debian system, I checked my system and found folowing
scrips uses it to get mailname and expect somethig more like debian.org there:
Binary file /usr/bin/mutt matches
/usr/bin/dch: if (open MAILNAME, '/etc/mailname') {
/usr/bin/debchange: if (open MAILNAME, '/etc/mailname') {
/usr/bin/dh_make: if ( -e '/etc/mailname'){
/usr/bin/dh_make: chomp($mailhost = `cat /etc/mailname`);
Binary file /usr/bin/makeinfo matches
/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-modules: hostname -f > "$BUILDPLACE/etc/mailname"
/usr/lib/gettext/user-email:# Some Debian systems have a file /etc/mailname.
/usr/lib/gettext/user-email:if test -r /etc/mailname; then
/usr/lib/gettext/user-email: hostmailname=`cat /etc/mailname`
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el:(defun debian-clean-mailname ()
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el:;; policy/ch4.html, 4.3 Mail
processing on Debian systems, /etc/mailname
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el:(let ((mailname
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el: (debian-file->string
"/etc/mailname" (function debian-clean-mailname))))
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el: (if (not mailname)
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el: (message "No /etc/mailname.
Reverting to default...")
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el: (setq mail-host-address mailname)))
/etc/Muttrc:# set the default here. (better: fix /etc/mailname)
I am quite annoyed after changing /etc/mailname to "localhost" and now
changing "myorigin = localhost" and set /etc/mailname back to "debian.org"
This way I can run devscripts as it used to be in exim4.
Now, I should get proper e-mail address in my changelog :-)
