Hello to all,

when booting the system or restarting smartd (service smartmontools restart) an email is sent - but this email lacks a proper from:-statement and is rejected by the mail provider (bounce). But, when I just type 'smartd' at the command line a test email is sent as expected with a correct from:-statement and message body.

Version: 6.3 armhf backport for Wheezy
/etc/smartd.conf is configured to send test emails.
/etc/default/smartmontools is configured to start smartd

Any hints apprechiated!

Thanks in advance.

Rgrds,

Mark
