Package: smail Version: 3.1.29.1-23 Oddly, /var/log/smail/logfile had zero length even though mail had been processed on the system after the last savelog rotation (which is run by /etc/cron.daily/smail) . The file had group "root". After changing the group to "mail", smail again added logs to the file. I propose to add the patch below to /etc/cron.daily/smail.
