Hi, For security reasons, we do not run sendmail as a daemon - instead it is called whenever a user or process wants to send mail. However, the one time we run into problems is if the mail server rejects the mail. In this case, the mail sits in the mail queue until someone manually runs /usr/lib/sendmail -q . To remedy this problem I'm attempting to set up a cron job to run the check every 5 minutes.
Oddly enough the following cron job works fine if I place it in /var/spool/cron/root, but it fails if I append it to the /etc/crontab . Does anyone have an idea why? 0-59/5 * * * * /usr/lib/sendmail -q -Mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
