In /etc/mgetty/new_fax I have the line
USER="postmaster"
so faxes are mailed to that user.
In the DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION section of /etc/exim.conf I have
system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/aliases
search_type = lsearch*
and in /etc/aliases
postmaster: brian
It is unlikely that upgrading mgetty-fax touches new_fax without your
consent and the only recent change to mgetty has been an NMU security
fix. Considering you've altered it, exim.conf appears to be a likely
place to look.
