>Description:
I am not seeing any output from /etc/periodic/daily/440.status-mailq
(v. 1.4.2.2) when I try to use the short form output by specifying
daily_status_mailq_shorten="YES" in /etc/periodic.conf.
Also, no output is produced if only one message to each uniq recipient is in
the mailq. I think this give a false warm fuzzy to the admin. So I think it
would be a good idea to have the number of messages before the awk script
produces output configurable.
>How-To-Repeat:
With multiple e-mails to the same recipient in your mailq run:
echo 'daily_status_mailq_shorten="YES"' >> /etc/periodic.conf
sh /etc/periodic/daily/440.status-mailq
>Fix:
This is probably not the right fix but it works here and I do not know enough
to produce anything better at this time.
