Package: tripwire Version: 2.3.1.2.0-10 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
If you use the emailto= option and email-report mode in your tripwire daily cron job on a Debian Etch machine to get reports on tripwire anomalies, you will not receive them. This is the only way I have come accross to make it work if you *dont* receive the root@ email, and hence have to route directly from tripwire to a remote address. Because they will be sent out with the short host name, exim will go on to reject them with log entries of the form: 2008-09-13 13:07:27 1KeTuG-00087b-3C ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host mailhost.DOMAIN.COM [X.Y.Z.Q]: 553 5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist I believe that this is a tripwire issue, and not an exim4 issue, because it makes no sense to use the short hostname for emailing to external addresses. Wherever it is deemed the fault lies, I would be interested in secure workarounds for this in the short term. Adding SHORT-HOSTNAME into exim's MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS or whatever it is seems overkill? I'm going to try a local alias to the desired remote address for the time being.
