Description

Alternative view: It could be treated as esmtp bug. esmtp-wrapper could be more smart and do not rely on HOME environment variable, for example, instead of plain > qdir="$HOME/.esmtp_queue" it could use something like this: > HOME=${HOME:-$(getent passwd $(id -u) | cut -d: -f6)} > qdir="$HOME/.esmtp_queue" If you thin so, please reassign the bug to esmtp. Sorry for the third message, but there is another, easier (easiest?) way to fix esmtp-wrapper:
> qdir=~/.esmtp_queue
Bash does tilde expansion even if HOME is not set.
The problem still exists in F22. Installing clamav-update adds a cronie job, which sends messages to root. However, due to this bug, all the messages are created /.esmtp_queue directory, which are not delivered, because SELinux blocks does not allow esmtp read this directory, so root has lot of SELinux alerts instead of messages. These SELinux alerts could be a bit frightening for inexperienced user. This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.

Can you confirm? > I think this should now be fixed in F23 to Rawhide. Can you confirm? Not sure about all the range from F23..F25, but esmtp-1.2-4.fc24.x86_64 looks like fixed: > ID=`id -un` > [ "$HOME" ] || HOME=`getent passwd $ID | cut -d: -f6` > qdir="$HOME/.esmtp_queue" (My proposal (qdir=~/.esmtp_queue) is simpler, but I do not care too much.) |
