Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.17-4
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
/etc/init.d/fetchmail has
# Should-Start: $mail-transport-agent exim4
but fetchmail starts very early and failed to deliver mails because
The mail transport agent is not ready.
This issue could loss mails.
I suggest that /etc/init.d/fetchmail has :
1.
# Required-Start: $network $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog $mail-transport-agent
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $mail-transport-agent
2.
Fetchmail does not need usually to start immediately after the boot. A delay
of few minutes (one ?) before the fetchmail start could improve security of
delivering (for ie : to enable a good antispam starting).
