[Python-modules-team] Bug#955973: fail2ban: Set default mail command to exim?

[James D. Amberger]

Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.10.2-2.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Fresh install of Buster, I installed fail2ban and noticed that the
jail.conf specifies sendmail as the mail transport even though the
debian default is still exim (right?). Should not the debian-specific
conf in jail.d set the following?

        mta = sendmail
