Hi.
I'm crossposting this to the nullmailer mailing list
because I think the solution is upstream, and I checked
that nullmailer-1.05 does not change anything to this problem.
I've tracked down the problem down to the file lib/hostname.cc,
function read_hostnames(), I also derive a workaround.
void read_hostnames()
{
int nome;
nome = 0;
if (!config_read("me", me)) {
nome = 1;
me = "me";
}
if (!config_read("defaultdomain", defaultdomain))
defaultdomain = nome ? "defaultdomain" : me.c_str();
if (!config_read("defaulthost", defaulthost))
defaulthost = nome ? "defaulthost" : me.c_str();
canonicalize(defaulthost);
}
"me" is debianized to point to /etc/mailname, but that's merely
cosmetic.
Now, what happens ?
Say that the /etc/nullmailer/me or /etc/mailname contains
"nullmailer.mydomain.tld"
Then both defaulthost *and* defaultdomain will contain just that.
If HOSTNAME is exported to "nullmailer", it will be canonicalized
to "nullmailer.nullmailer.mydomain.tld"...... beep...
defaultdomain has to somehow be set to "mydomain.tld"...
This leads to the workaround the broken package, which is just to
make /etc/nullmailer/defaultdomain contain
"mydomain.tld"
Regards to everyone.
