Hi all,
I run courier 0.44.2. Ancient, I know, but it serves. However, this problem may be a reason to upgrade.
The problem is that I use a cronjob for backups. It never sends mails. All other cronjobs send mail fine. The only difference is that this job runs for almost two hours. If it stops on mounting the backup directory or fails quickly for any other reason, it sends mail fine. Anyone seen this? Any solution or workaround?
Courier's sendmail command terminates after 30 minutes if no message is forthcoming.
Ah, OK. Any way to suppress this behaviour? As long running jobs from cron are quite common, this is not exactly a feature in my opinion.
Redirect their output to a temporary file, then mail the temporary file.
