Hi Richard, Sorry for the delay, I had a large backlog of packages to upload. A point I forgot to mention is that, unfortunately, email-only submissions must not update lastsub because it is impossible to know whether the mail server is configured to allow delivery to non-local hosts, so we assume the popcon server might never actually receive the email. More importantly, could we write a wrapper around cron.daily that would be called by systemd, instead of modifying cron.daily directly ? For example the wrapper could capture stderr and then sent the error message. The idea is to make the change to cron.daily as small as possible. I do not understand the diff chunk starting by -# Only run on the given day, to spread the load on the server a bit + set_sub sendmail delivery must not set set_sub Is it possible to disable sandboxing, at least for a first try ? There is no way to know where cron.daily/tor/sendmail have been configured to write to. Cheers, -- Bill. <[email protected]> Imagine a large red swirl here.
