This how RDJ sends mail. Try it as root on your box and see what
happens.
echo -e "test email" | \
sh -c "mail -s \"Test subject\" [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
A 304 status code indicates that the page has not been changed and
does not need to be downloaded. I believe this is normal unless one
of the rule sets has changed.
