Of course, most of these anomalies are probably inherent in most other
versions of LEAF/LRP; but, this is the version I am using to debug and
solve these issues.
[1] If the first line of the mail body begins with at least one (1)
non-whitespace, non-colon (:) character and is followed by a
colon (:) and anything else, then *NO* body will be received
with the Email !?!? For example:
host: Odin
date: Fri Oct 26 20:35:13 CDT 2001
src : trout
This can be alleviated by prepending *all* bodies with a blank
line (echo).
[2] /etc/cron.daily/multicron-d, although run as root, has a very
limited PATH and *cannot* find /usr/sbin/mail, among other
programs it may be asked to run.
Therefore, I suggest adding the following, similarly as
/etc/crontab is configured:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
The only question is, in which file ought this to be placed:
/etc/lrp.conf or /etc/cron.daily/multicron-d ???
[3] /var/log/mail.log exists; but, I've not yet seen anything
write to it. In order to facilitate debugging Email issues,
as well as to keep track of outgoing Email attempts, I suggest
adding the following subroutine to /lib/POSIXness/POSIXness.mail:
log () {
LOG=/var/log/mail.log
STR=`date '+%b %d %T'`
STR="${STR} ${HOSTNAME} mail[$$]: $user => [$envelopes]: $subject"
echo $STR >> $LOG
}
I suggest calling log prior to that final `exit 0' and the last
`done'; but, there maybe a more sane location ;>
What do you think?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
