Thanks for reporting, but I can't see your point here. The script seems to give to $SYSTEM a FQDN when calling "hostname -f": # Set the SYSTEM SYSTEM=`/bin/hostname -f` Later it loads the config file and overrides the $SYSTEM value in case it's set in apticron.conf: # Source the config file [ -e /etc/apticron/apticron.conf ] && . /etc/apticron/apticron.conf Finally, it uses $SYSTEM on email subject: ) 2>&1 | /usr/bin/mailx -a "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" -s "$DISTRIB_ID package updates on $SYSTEM" $EMAIL Could you re-check whether this problem really happens there? If so, please try to echo $SYSTEM before and after loading the config file (line above) and give me the output.
