>From previous posts to this list I now know that Evolution stays awake so to speak and keeps downloading messages for me, even after I exit the program. But what I don't understand is what is is doing as seen in the log entries below from my Linux system log file. I have set evolution to download mail every ten minutes. If nothing else it certainly seems to be doing that quite faithfully :).
Mar 3 14:50:01 localhost /usr/sbin/cron[20558]: (root) MAIL (mailed 42 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 ) Mar 3 15:00:01 localhost /usr/sbin/cron[20564]: (root) CMD (est -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons ) Mar 3 15:00:01 localhost /usr/sbin/cron[20565]: (root) CMD (m -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly) Mar 3 15:00:02 localhost sSMTP[20567]: Unable to locate mail Mar 3 15:00:02 localhost sSMTP[20567]: Cannot open mail:25 Mar 3 15:00:02 localhost /usr/sbin/cron[20563]: (root) MAIL (mailed 40 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 ) Mar 3 15:00:02 localhost sSMTP[20568]: Unable to locate mail Mar 3 15:00:02 localhost sSMTP[20568]: Cannot open mail:25 Mar 3 15:00:02 localhost /usr/sbin/cron[20562]: (root) MAIL (mailed 42 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 ) Mar 3 15:10:01 localhost /usr/sbin/cron[20570]: (root) CMD (est -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons ) Mar 3 15:10:01 localhost sSMTP[20572]: Unable to locate mail Mar 3 15:10:01 localhost sSMTP[20572]: Cannot open mail:25 It seems to be attempting to communicate with my POP mail server and getting a status of 0x0001 back (whatever that status indicates). But I don't understand why it cannot locate mail or why it cannot open mail:25. Things seem to work just fine from inside evolution in terms of downloading the mail so why do these messages in my log file indicate a failure of some kind? When I check my crontab file I don't see anything in there to indicate that Evolution is doing anything. Does Evolution change my crontab file somehow when it is installed? Any input on this would be appreciated. Thanks. Carlos PS. Perhaps I should ask this on the Evolution hackers list. If so please let me know. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
