-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I have the following problem: since I need and do not like any kind of smtp activity in my jails (there's no 127.0.0.1 in a jail, all services listen to the jails external interface), I put those lines into my /etc/rc.conf: sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" this works fine: nothing listening on the jails interface... except that cron tries to deliver its status mails and fails. While failing, sendmail seems to hog cpu and finally floods /var/spool/clientmqueue and /var/log/maillog. My quick fix now is to replace /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail with /usr/bin/true in /etc/mail/mailer.conf, however: it seems problematic that cron insists on a mail sub system, when all it should do is execute stuff periodically. There should be an option to let it only log to a file. For my jails this would make sense, too: I never read root's mails locally, anyway. Am I missing the obvious solution here? erdgeist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) iD8DBQFE8OOPImmQdUyYEgkRAlg8AJ94cvRnJO8y04wZdYdzaX1YM4SorACffJtE DN2NRiU437SGchnsOrh5hQs= =t0dd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
