I did not get any email even if I have a daily email programmed through
email-reminder-editor
2) doing it manually
~# /usr/sbin/collect-reminders
~# ll /var/spool/email-reminder/
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 8191 21 juil. 09:11 1000
--> collect works
~# /usr/bin/send-reminders
Warning: for security reasons, this script should not be run as root.
~# ll /var/spool/email-reminder/
total 0
--> spool has been processed and I got email.
I try to make dpkg-reconfigure email-reminder but get the same result.
/home/my_user/.email-reminders mode is 100644 with my_user:my_user_group.
Could it be a permission issue?
