Greetings all, in January I switched my main development desktop system and a new laptop to Debian-KDE after being a Fedora user since its inception. I'm pretty happy with the change but have a couple of remaining problems.
The biggest one is that I can't figure out how to get logrotate to use the postfix smtp daemon I installed to send mail to root. (I have no desire to send mail from these systems for any purpose except to root for system administration.) "mail root" from CLI works, and some programs (smartd, for example) do send email properly to the root account. The programs run nightly by cron do not, however. This is not an aliases problem or a difficulty with postfix configuration since the CLI invocation works fine. I have RTFM'ed at length but simply cannot figure out how to get cron's subprocesses to use postfix. I have changed all invocations of sendmail to postfix in /etc/*.conf that I can find. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look? logrotate.conf needs to be changed?
