My unattended-upgrade installation keeps sending emails to root@myhost even though I have set dedicated root email address in /etc/email-addresses.
My question is - where is unattended-upgrades getting the address "root@myhost" from? And how to force Unattended-upgrades to use the address in /etc/email-addresses?
If I enter my full email address in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades everything works, but I would rather like to have the email address specified in one place on my system.
Furthermore, I have no trouble sending test mails from the terminal. (e.g. echo "Some text" | mail -s "Root message" myemai@mydomain.com.
When testing Unattended-upgrades mail reports I get an error message because the mail is send to root@myhost, which of cause is not a valid email address.
