Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-mail-forward 1/1] install to /usr/libexec instead of /usr/bin
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 14:20:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250625122012.226237-3-l.wagner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250625122012.226237-1-l.wagner@proxmox.com>

/usr/libexec is intended for binaries which are not intended to be
called by users manually. proxmox-mail-forwarded is only ever supposed
to be called by Postfix via the forwarding mechanism in /root/.forward,
so the binary should be located in /usr/libexec.

The postinst script will automatically migrate the contents of
/root/.forward if needed.
