Bug#178436: debbugs: Exim virtual-host instructions broken
Package: debbugs
Version: N/A; reported 2003-01-26
Severity: important
The instructions for setting up debbugs with Exim using a
virtual host are broken. I followed the Exim instructions for
setting it up with debbugs on a system that Exim will handle
more than one kind of mail for, if the setup worked (incoming
mail for users, outgoing mail from users, and debbugs).
I followed the instructions and placed this at the top of
directives, as directed:
debbugs:
driver = aliasfile
domains = bugs.surgo.net
file = /usr/lib/debbugs/receive
user = debbugs
group = debbugs
current_directory = /var/lib/debbugs/spool
home_directory = /var/lib/debbugs/spool
The user and group debbugs was one I set up with login and password
disabled and the shell set to /bin/false. bugs.surgo.net would be
the domain I would receive the bug reports from, and was added to
local_domains.
Anyway, the error I received was the following, when I tried to send
a test mail from admin@surgo.net to morgon@surgo.net on the machine
next to the mail server on the network (which works normally, without
the debbugs configuration in exim.conf). Using Kmail, this is the
error:
A search type option is required
Unfortunately, I am no expert in Exim (yet ;) and I do not know
how to fix the instructions provided in the documentation.
