Hello. I have just set up a cron job on FC6 (first try) and I am getting the following message in the log:
Jun 28 lpserver@localdomain crond[5728]: (root) MAIL (mailed 369 bytes of output but got status 0x0045)
I think it's trying to send me an error message but us encountering a mail problem. I edited the crontab file to include a MAILTO=me@mymail.com line, and am still getting the message. Did some research and found that I needed to enable external network access for sendmail. Following
this guide I edited the sendmail.mc file, but when I tried to issue m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf I got an error
m4:/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:10: cannot open '/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4': No such file or directory
pgrep sendmail yields two process numbers. But then I try telnet localhost 25 it refuses the connection. The maillog contains entries that end of which say
mailer=relay, pri=30763, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable
So can anyone advise me how to straighten this out?
Thx...
