Severity: important

Hi!

/usr/lib/news/bin/news2mail uses <news> as the parameter for the -f
switch to sendmail. This generates an envelope sender of
"<news>@domain.com", at least on our system.

The patch below removes the braces:

 #      @command[0] = '/usr/local/bin/debug';

        syslog('info', join(' ', @command));
