Make sure you have a shell script under /etc/cron.daily/ with "execute" permission set, and which always writes on stdout. 2. Make sure that /var/spool/mail/root exists. If it doesn't, create it as a zero-length file. 3. Set "Yast => System => /etc/sysconfig editor => System => Cron => SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR" to yes Actual Results: No mail from cron to root Expected Results: Daily mail from cron to root with (at least) the output from the scxript mentioned at step 1 above. I got this daily email before I upgraded from openSUSE 11.1 to 11.2 final on 2009-11-13. Additional info: After upgrade to 11.2, /var/spool/mail/root has permission bits -rw------. I thought this file box was world-writable (and ISTR that I had created it so under 11.1). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Tony: try to start postfix : /etc/init.d/postfix start

Peter: this looks like a postfix problem, could be related to bnc#552270, check Comment 4

In "YaST => System => System services (Runlevel)" (Expert mode), service "postfix" has "Yes 3 5". I didn't change it. In a root console: "rcpostfix status" answers: Checking for service Postfix: running Nevertheless, I've done "rcpostfix restart" with the following result: Shutting down mail service (Postfix) done Starting mail service (Postfix) done "ps -lC postfix" still lists no processes. Could the postfix service have a different process name? We'll see after cron-daily runs (which happens every night shortly after midnight UTC) whether I get any mail, but my expectations aren't high. (Note: /sbin/rcpostfix is a softlink to /etc/init.d/postfix). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Being logged in as root: # ls -l ~/Maildir ls: cannot access /root/Maildir: No such file or directory BTW, I have SeaMonkey configured to retrieve Movemail mail out of a mailbox file named (I'm not sure which) /var/mail/root or /var/spool/mail/root.

Being logged in as root: # ls -l ~/Maildir ls: cannot access /root/Maildir: No such file or directory

It could be that during some installation (if not this latest upgrade) you checked the "Receive System Mail" check box when creating a user, in which case the mail would have been delivered as individual files to the directory ${HOME}/Maildir/new/

...

Couldn't I get it back the way it used to be?

I took the lazy path and using yast I selected under "Delivery Mode" -> "Through Procmail". This used to be the default. When you have no ${HOME}/.procmailrc procmail delivers to /var/spool/mail/${USER} ( /var/mail/ is a symlink to /var/spool/mail/ BTW,) The hard way would be to hand modify /etc/postfix/main.cf in order to deliver mail in unix mailbox format to /var/mail/${USER}, but procmail does everything you want for you, and if you wanted to, you could write a ${HOME}/.procmailrc to sort the mail for you. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Where in YaST? Under "Network Services => Mail Server", if I select "Standard" configuration my only choice is Permanent/Dialup/No connection, and if I choose "Advanced" configuration it wants me to set up LDAP. In neither case do I get this "Delivery mode" option. So it must be some other YaST menu, but there are so many I'm stumped.

That is the value that yast2 set for me in /etc/sysconfig/postfix so that is almost certainly the place to change it "behind yast2's back".

It seems the relayr.db file was not created. Please create it manually:

touch /etc/postfix/relay postmap /etc/postfix/relay

And restart postfix

/etc/postfix/relay existed with the following contents (2 lines, 37 bytes): # for relaying domain # domain.de OK so I did the following with the following results: # cp -vf /dev/null/ /etc/postfix/relay `/dev/null' -> `/etc/postfix/relay' # postmap /etc/postfix/relay # rcpostfix restart Shutting down mail service (Postfix) done Starting mail service (Postfix) done (If I did wrong, please tell me.) However, cron-daily ran a few minutes ago, so I'll have to wait for about 24 hours to know if it cured my problem. I'll report tomorrow and _then_ remove the NEEDINFO flag.

I am still not getting anything, /var/spool/mail/root remains zero-length, and yet /etc/cron.daily contains a script displaying the date/time on stdout, and "Yast2 => System => etc/sysconfig editor => System => Cron => SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR" is still set at "yes". 2. Do I really need an LDAP server for internal mail (i.e. mail from cron to root, not going over any network)? AFAIK, under openSUSE 11.1 I had none, and my cron mail was dutifully delivered every night. So: - What should I do to make an LDAP server unnecessary (and maybe which packages to uninstall)? - If there's no way I can dispense with it, how can I configure it? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

1. No you do not need LDAP-Server. 2. I do not known how you have configured your server and why did you select LDAP.

AFAIK, I did not select LDAP. If I did, it was unwittingly.

...

3. You have to configure your mail system with yast2 mail in standard mode. Enhanced mode requires LDAP server.

Mail server in yast2 was already configured with "standard mode" and "no connection". Under "LDAP Client" in yast2 there was "Use LDAP but disable logins". I have now selected "Do not use LDAP". We'll see tonight if it makes a difference.

...

4. Remove from your /etc/postfix/main.cf the line: home_mailbox = Maildir/ if exists.

Searching /etc/postfix/main.cf for the string home_mailbox yields exactly three lines (410, 415, 416), all beginning with the character # -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The following allowed me to read that mail (and guess what? it was from cron) but I suspect that I did it "the wrong way": 1) cd /var/spool/mail 2) check that ./root is still zero-length 3) rm -vf root && ln -sv nobody root 4) in SeaMonkey Mail, right-click the "Movemail" account, then "Get mail for this account" More than a hundred messages were downloaded at step 4. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
