[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#455707: snmp: traptoemail does not use FQDN

[Ferenc Wagner]

Package: snmp
Version: 5.2.3-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

Without explicitly specifying the From: address with the -f option,
traptoemail sends messages with the short hostname as the domain part.
Most MTAs reject messages without a fully qualified domain, so these
messages are easily lost.  In my opinion, a simple fix would be changing

$opts{'f'} = 'root@' . `hostname`;

to

$opts{'f'} = 'root@' . `hostname -f`;

at the top of the script.

Thanks,
Feri.
