From cedric.dufour at ced-network.net Sat Oct 4 18:20:10 2025 From: cedric.dufour at ced-network.net (=?utf-8?q?C=C3=A9dric_Dufour?=) Date: Sat, 04 Oct 2025 19:20:10 +0200 Subject: [Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#1117201: syslog-ng-core: Missing syslog-ng-mod-smtp Message-ID: <175959841086.24443.6713052386771113207.reportbug@syslog.ch1860.ced-network.net> Package: syslog-ng-core Version: 4.8.1-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, In order to support SMTP as a destination, one needs the SMTP Syslog NG driver, aka "syslog-ng-mod-smtp". I see support for SMTP has been disabled on Ausgust 18, 2024: "Disable SMTP destination plugin for now". Do you have any particular reason for not having re-enabled it since then (and included it in Trixie) ? I have personally successfully re-enabled this support using the Debian Trixie source: - in debian/control: add libesmtp-dev in Build-Depends - in debian/control: uncomment the "syslog-ng-mod-smtp" package entry - in debian/rules: replace --disable-smtp by --enable-smtp I installed the resulting custom-built packages (including syslog-ng-mod-smtp 4.8.1-5+1custom13u1, as you can see below) and confirmed the SMTP module/driver _does_ work. Would you consider re-enabling it for future releases ? Thanks and best, C?dric -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.153-kvm-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU thread) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages syslog-ng-core depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12 ii libcap2 1:2.75-10+b1 ii libglib2.0-0t64 2.84.4-3~deb13u1 ii libivykis0t64 0.43.2-1+b1 ii libjson-c5 0.18+ds-1 ii libnet1 1.3+dfsg-2 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.46-1~deb13u1 ii libssl3t64 3.5.1-1+deb13u1 ii libsystemd0 257.8-1~deb13u2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-36 ii lsb-base 11.6 ii sysvinit-utils [lsb-base] 3.14-4 Versions of packages syslog-ng-core recommends: ii logrotate 3.22.0-1 Versions of packages syslog-ng-core suggests: pn syslog-ng-mod-add-contextual-data pn syslog-ng-mod-amqp pn syslog-ng-mod-examples pn syslog-ng-mod-geoip2 pn syslog-ng-mod-graphite pn syslog-ng-mod-http pn syslog-ng-mod-mongodb pn syslog-ng-mod-python pn syslog-ng-mod-rdkafka pn syslog-ng-mod-redis pn syslog-ng-mod-riemann pn syslog-ng-mod-slog ii syslog-ng-mod-smtp 4.8.1-5+1custom13u1 pn syslog-ng-mod-snmp pn syslog-ng-mod-sql pn syslog-ng-mod-stardate pn syslog-ng-mod-stomp pn syslog-ng-mod-xml-parser -- Configuration Files: /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
