[BlueOnyx:05372] Re: root can't send mail

[Charles Bowman]

Does root have a mailbox?

Has it been deleted...

 

[root]# ls -lrt /var/mail/ | grep root

-rw-rw---- 1 root         mail 0 Jan 23  2010 root-admin

I have searched all over tried a dozen things But when ever root attempts to
sendmail I get errors like this on just one server.

I found this problem when investigating the lack of logwatch reports from
this serverr

 

this test sent to me

echo "test" | mail -s test gwaugh at frontstreetnetworks.com'

 

Sep  9 10:14:53 s7 sendmail[25448]: o89HErwt025448:
to=gwaugh at frontstreetnetworks.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30055, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1],
dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable

 

echo "test" | mail -s test admin

Sep  9 10:19:11 s7 sendmail[25708]: o89HJAai025708: to=admin, ctladdr=root
(0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30030,
relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable

 

ideas?

 

Gerald
