Upon installation of noip I ran the command noip2 -C to configure it.
I want noip to run a script every 30 minutes that sends a mail to me
at the end of the updating of the address.
So I choose the settings accordingly when configuring noip.
I've put the following in my /etc/rc.local
------------------------------------------
# Add your local startup actions here.
/usr/local/sbin/noip2 &
echo '.'
------------------------------------------
When the machine is booted I get the mail, but I do not get the
updates every 30 minutes as I should.
I don't think the mail gets to you, if you run noip2 without the '&'
I think it will work, you put the process in background and
that why the mail can't get delivered for some reason. this happens
to me in other situations.
Top shows the process
6013 _noip 2 0 428K 916K idle select 0:00 0.00% noip2
Everything looks fine, but note that you didn't get noip from ports (so
it may be incompatible with OpenBSD). Try posting your configuration,
running noip in debug mode (if it has one), or switching to
net/ddclient.

I tried you suggestion with removing the '&' but it had no effect what
so ever.
I'll try out the suggestion with debug mode.
