Description Guillaume Rousse 2014-02-08 15:11:40 CET

Stricter taint mode checking in perl 5.18 prevents postgrey to work as a daemon.

To reproduce the issue, just run the following command:
/usr/sbin/postgrey --pidfile=/run/postgrey.pid --unix=/var/spool/postfix/extern/postgrey/socket --auto-whitelist-clients --daemonize

And check than /run/postgrey.pid file has not been created.

The postgrey-1.34-8.2.mga4 release, in updates_testing, fix this issue.

Suggested advisory:
The postgrey package shipped in mageia 4 was not fully functional, as stricter
taint mode checking in perl 5.18 prevented the program to work when daemonized.

Reproducible:
