I received this email from my FC2 box this morning. What can be made of this? Site list is missing: mailman ------------------------- I've not setup mailman to do anything, didn't even know it was installed, (everything else apparently is using sendmail) but having it suddenly decide to mail me my passwords would appear to be one hell of a security breach.
The only "new" software installed recently have been inhouse built
versions of the utils that come with an pcHDTV-3000 card, and the
boinc/einstein stuffs.
The same thing will happen on the first of next month too. Mailman (apparently by default) sends out a password reminder message to all members of a list at the beginning of each month.
This message is the result of the cron job that failed because
mailman is not configured with any lists. It couldn't find the
lists to process password reminders for, so the script died and
since you are the admin, you got the message about the cron job
failure.
Which doesn't really seem to address the issue. Nothing that should have effected mailman has ever been done here, and thats the first message like that I've ever seen. I've been using linux exclusively since rh5.1 days. This upgrade to FC2 is now much of a year old.
Maybe I didn't word the query to the list correctly. It should have noted that I've done nothing (that I know of) to start mailman, so why, on 1 mar 2005 do I get the message?
The history goes all the way back to april 1997 and its never sent me such an email before.
Apparently, though, mailman was/is running on your FC2 system, Gene.
Have you
