If you want your email go thru the internet you have to customize your
sendmail / postix server according.

<mailto:tarjei.knapstad@xxxxxxxxx>>:
I've enabled the yum cronjob to update my FC4 boxes daily which is
fine as long as there aren't any package conflicts. Whenever there are
conflicts however, yum just seems to die in silence and the only way I
discover them is if I do a manual yum update.
Is it possible to get an email report sent if the yum update fails?
(It would also be nice to get reports whenever something has been
updated for that matter).
Cheers,

If you aren't getting cron's messages, and better way might be to go to
/etc/aliases and find the line that starts 'root:' (it should be the
last line or so). Replace what is there with your username (or a full
email address if you want it to be moved to a remote server) and (if I
remember correctly...) uncomment the line. Then you need to save the
file and in your shell prompt, type 'newaliases' (as root of course).
Now any service that sends their status messages to root will come into
your mailbox so your are informed immediately.
