I will report again :) Hi All, After several days I can confirm, the problem is gone. vzdump succeed every night. <background for the search engines> The basic problem was, vixie-cron and ssmtp have problems if they are working together. I run several maintenance tasks regularly on the hardware node, such as daily backup with vzdump, logwatch, check rootkits etc. I want to see email reports about that, so, I need a 3rd party rescue smtp server. I choosed gmail with ssmtp. I expected, vzdump cannot complete its task and I got stopped container etc. </background for the search engines> I changed my mail transport from ssmtp (via gmail) to postfix (via gmail) in the hardware node. Now the cron is able to send email even about long-run scripts. So, in my case, the postfix + vixie cron in my gentoo box (HN) is working well. I get all reports from my systems. Anyway, I guess, if I suppress all output from cron (every output redirected to /dev/null) ssmtp should work too, but I did not and I will not test it. I am happy with postfix.
