SuSE 9.0 - fails delivering email - cronjob - */1 * * * * root /usr/sbin/postqueue -f - openSUSE Users (Deutsch)

12 Apr 2004

      Hello,

I've  SuSE 9.0 professional with Postfix installed on my Linux box.
Postfix is confiquered to send all outgoing email to an smtp-relayhost.
When I send an email mailq shows for all entries -> deferred transport. 
So I have to put the command 'sendmail -q' or 'postqueue -f' manually as 
root.
For the sake of convenience I tried to deliver email with the crontab 
entry  'postqueue -f' with no success (see last line of /etc/crontab). 
If I enter the command in a shell, then everything works fine. Does 
anybody can give me a hint why the cronjob fails?

Thanks
Klaus
