One more sendmail question, and I've seen the answer to this somewhere before but I just can't google it now, is this; how do I send a test message through sendmail from the command line? Another short question; on this same server the logwatch email never got through to root. There were errors in Mail log like this, every day: "Mar 20 04:08:16 some-server sendmail[6996]: j2K9730f006996: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere" . To this day I have not solved that problem, and I'm pretty sure I haven't previously done anything to sendmail.mc. Thanks again, -P -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list I use a perl script to email me the ifconfig output to my work email. That way I know the dynamic IP address. I schedule it with a cron job at 4 AM and also use the dhclient-exit-hooks script to send me an email when it renews the IP address.
