Bug#407581: cron.daily/mailscanner has exim4 specific cruft.
Package: mailscanner
Version: 4.57.6-1
Severity: important
/etc/cron.daily/mailscanner:
/etc/cron.daily/mailscanner: line 33: exim4: command not found
/etc/cron.daily/mailscanner: line 36: [: eq: unary operator expected
Two problems here.
1) Script is largely exim4 specific. Logic to determine the MTA in use on the
system should be run prior to MTA specific code.
At current moment, I would suggest adding logic to detect the presence
of exim4 before proceeding with the exim specific portion of the cron.daily
script.
2) Poor quoting of variables in script.
>From the script
if [ ! $SPOOLDIR eq $SPOOLDIRDEFAULT ]; then
# and there is the default spool directory
if [ -d $SPOOLDIRDEFAULT ]; then
Should be something of the form
if [ ! "$SPOOLDIR" eq "$SPOOLDIRDEFAULT" ]; then
# and there is the default spool directory
if [ -d "$SPOOLDIRDEFAULT" ]; then
$SPOOLDIR may be the empty string. Without quoting this will
confuse the test builtin ("[") in the shell leading to erroneous
results.

Bug#408161: mailscanner: Option for debconf managed config.
Package: mailscanner Version: 4.57.6-1 Severity: wishlist I only ask this because arno-iptables-firewall provides something similar. It would be nice to have debconf driven configuration of mailscanner for the site name, MTA, spool directories, and other standard config tweaks.
