I Had a terrible week with freebsd. In monday I did an upgrade from 7.3
to 8.1-prerelease in 3 machines, 2 of them worked normaly and one stop
functioning, and without user (ldap) e cron is not sending emails. The
log for cron is:
Jun 10 19:45:00 sol /usr/sbin/cron[80892]: (root) CMD
Cron is still not sending emails. Any idea?
Is there any output in the 'maillog' log?
