• Debian sendmailconfig abandoned?

    From Marco Moock@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 17 10:40:00 2023
    Hello!

    Debian based operating system ship with a software called
    sendmailconfig that among other things create a SysVinit start script
    of the Sendmail.conf file.

    In the future, systemd will most likely stop supporting them and will
    require to provide a native systemd service configuration file.

    In the Debian tracker, nobody was found who can do that yet.

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039365

    Robert Leslie <rob@mars.org> is named in the manpage, but didn't reply
    by mail for more than 5 weeks (mail didn't get bounced).
    Does anybody know if he still maintains it and how to contact him?

    Is anybody else here interested in changing/maintaining it?

    If nobody will change it, the conclusion will most likely be that it is
    going to be removed and sendmail needs to be configured without it,
    like RHEL/Fedora do.

    kind regards
