Description Mattias Merilai 2014-10-27 16:58:08 UTC

I'm trying to send mail from system services to addresses in the format of root+machine@domain.tld for easy filtering. But this crashes vixie:

IIRC with MAILTO=root+machine@domain.tld vixie service dies outright.
With MAILTO="root+machine@domain.tld" the tasks seem to run but no mail.

Dunno if related to hardened, i have no non-hardened system to test. Using a mail address with no + in it works around the issue.

Reproducible: Always
