About which you theoreticaly should not fill bugs into the Debian BTS, as these aren't Debian packages.

Well, users created for packages should be created as system users. No idea how the fact of being a system user might play into your spam issue. I have little clue about LDAP and no clue about condor (just stumbled over the bug while RC-bughunting), but I would say you should not have a condor user in your LDAP and let it be a lonely local user created by adduser. If you want condor@host to work, add an alias or something. However, these are my two cheap cents, maintainers might disagree here. -- Bruce Schneier can read and understand Perl programs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
