[Logcheck-devel] Bug#489172: logcheck: please add Auto-Submitted header field to mailouts

[Lee Maguire]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: wishlist

Please add the header "Auto-Submitted: auto-generated" to mails
generated by logcheck.  This header should be supported by many email
autoresponders and should prevent the need to set up logcheck specific
rules for "vacation"-type autoresponders.

Headers can be added in mail using the -a switch, e.g.
   mail -a Auto-Submitted: auto-generated" -s "$subject" "$SENDMAILTO"

For details regarding the Auto-Submitted header field, see RFC 3834 sec 5
