I spoke too soon. Today with the SA-Update message at the normal time it went out as usual however as has been the case I didn't get it back. So, I changed the time on the cronjob and ran it again about 45mins later. This time since there was no update and the message that the cronjob generated was much smaller it came back. I've posted some more syslog postfix output on pastebin. One thing I've noticed is that the original SA-Update cronjob message is forwarded [1] whereas none of the others aren't. Another thing I noticed is that when there is no update the message of course is much smaller than when there is one. Update - size=215160 no update - size=5845 which of course makes sense however the message with no update output came back as it should have. [1] localhost postfix/local[22152]: 7706F10007E7: to=< root@cpollock.localdomain>, orig_to=<root>, relay=local, delay=0.16, delays=0.11/0/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarded as 84C6C10004DC) I'm pretty sure it's not a file size problem because I just sent myself a 9Mb file attachment with Evolution and the fact that a logcheck message handled by postfix after a restart is around 500k. I've been trying to send a large file with mailx to see if it comes back but nomatter what command line options I use no file gets attached. mailx -a ~/Downloads/MISSION_Act_Community_Care_Booklet.pdf -s "test" cpoll...@embarqmail.com I've also tried putting the -a after the 'To:' address still doesn't work. https://pastebin.com/wd3QfxJ4 -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C 31.11972; -97.90167 (Elev. 1092 ft) 16:54:11 up 1 day, 23:58, 1 user, load average: 0.68, 0.82, 0.71 Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, kernel 4.18.0-22-generic
