Guys,
My SL 4.6 system is no longer sending mail to root and I can't for the
life of me work out why.
The aliases file hasn't changed recently and root is set up to point to
my user account in the relevant lower section.
/var/spool/mail/root is owned by root:root but hasn't been added to
since late May.
I have a script that updates all my clients every 10 minutes and I need
to know which are not getting updated at any point.
Any ideas? Where else can I look to solve?
Many thanks in advance.
Mark
This might seem basic, but have you restarted the sendmail daemon?
We recently had a machine that we didn't know was trying to send out
quite a few reports to root, but for some reason (we never found out
what) the sendmail daemon had died. We did a
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
for something else, and suddenly got swamped by a couple months of
e-mails that had built up.
