LOG: MAIN

== root@tools.wmflabs.org R=user_forward defer (-17): error in redirect data: missing or malformed local part (expected word or "<") in "No such object (32)"

scfc@tools-mail:~$ localuser root

No such object (32)

Matched DN: ou=people,dc=wikimedia,dc=org

scfc@tools-mail:~$

I added "root: tools.admin" to /etc/aliases and ran newaliases (old sendmail habit, with exim a no-op), but the error remains as apparently user_forward takes precedence over /etc/aliases, so this forward probably needs to be integrated in modules/toollabs/templates/exim4.conf.erb.

Version: unspecified

(Of course we could also work around that in localuser ... but where's the fun in that? :-))

Change 121377 had a related patch set uploaded by Tim Landscheidt:
Tools: Forward mail for root to the admin group

On second thought, I'm fine with fixing this is in localuser. I tested the patch live on tools-mail.

Yeah, I'm on it with a better solution atm. :-)
