cron error messages from remote machine


I am still having some trouble setting up my mailboxes to be able to access them from Outlook Express.
I am getting two errors on a daily basis that I am not sure how to fix. I have read the info on cron but I don't know what to delete.
Anyways, every day this message gets downloaded hourly from my Linux Postfix server to Outlook Express on my system.

This message is from:
Cron Dameon

The subject is:
Cron<root@webserver> nice -n 19 run-parts/etc/cron.hourly

The message is:
Cannot open /etc/news/inn.conf
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-rnews exited with return code 1

What do I delete?

Also once a day I receive;

The message is from:
news

The subject is:
webserver.<domain>.com Daily Usenet report for Thu Feb 13 04:02:00 EST 2003.

The message is:
Server status:
No innd.pid file; did server die?
Can't send "mode" command (sendto failure) No such file or directory.

Disk usage:
/etc/news 4397520 Kbytes available

Cannot flush logs.
expireover: could not expire control
expireover: could not expire control.cancel
expireover: could not expire junk
expireover: could not expire test
expireover: could not expire to

Theres more but it is basically a repeat of the above.
I gather it is telling me that my news server is not working. Fine with me. How do I get rid of it?

look in your

/etc/cron.hourly

for this file : inn-cron-rnews
and remove it.

This will remove the symptoms of having it report to you that inn is not running. Of course, if you don't want it you can always remove inn itself, but that's another story. And one I shall leave for the Mandy experts.
