Hi again and thanks for all the input.

 

Chris:  The system has been up for half a dog's age now (ever since FC3 was
new and exciting)

 

Patricia:  Updates stopped being available some time ago for this flavour of
FC - So no, it's no longer being updated...

 

A (gardner):  thanks for an interesting suggestion - Hadn't tried yet. Mailx
does not appear to be on my system, but tried same with mail, and (drumroll)
Nothing happened. After adding the -v option I found that  it was giving the
message that [email protected] did not exist, nor did
[email protected] (substitute real domain name.)

 

I added these items to my virtusertable, and a message did get out now when
sending as you had suggested. Curious.

I'll have to see if my crond logs come in now!

 

I think these *may* have stopped a while back after I removed the -f sender
option from my sendmail config (used to have a forced sender spec defined,
but need to get rid of that for automated site mailings to appear from
originating site as opposed to some unrelated entity). Hard to say for sure,
as I did a bit of a 'tidy up' at the same time.   Always dangerous.

 

Will keep my fingers crossed that this does the trick!

 

Thanks again,

 

Bruno.

What happens if you send some mail from the commandline? 


mailx [email protected] -s "Hello", type some stuff, followed by a control-D
