Template: metche/email
Type: string
Default: root
Description: Email address to which the reports will be sent.
By default, metche is run periodically by a cron job which returns
reports containing changes made to:

- the watched directory,
- the list of installed Debian packages.
This option indicates to which email address those reports will be
sent and typically corresponds to your collective mailing-list
address.

Note: metche is also able to use GnuPG to encrypt the email it sends,
but does not by default. See the man page and the configuration file
for more details.
