[gentoo-user] ssmtp and/or mailx delivery problem

[John J. Foster]

The following script is run as part of a nitely cron job.

//garbanzo/home/festus > cat /usr/bin/emerge_sync.sh
#! /bin/bash
## /usr/bin/emerge_sync.sh

# Sync now
/usr/sbin/eix-sync 2>&1
glsa-check --test all 2>&1 | mailx -s "GLSA check on $(hostname)" 
garbanzo@××××××××××××.com
emerge world --update --deep --tree --newuse --pretend --verbose | mailx 
-s "Updated packages for $(hostname)" garbanzo@××××××××××××.com

This has been executing properly every night for about 7 months now.

The following is what I started getting back as of last night, and a few 
test runs today from a CLI.

send-mail: 554 <festus@×××××.com>: Sender address rejected: Address 
locked or deactivated; see 
http://mail.messagingengine.com/docs/locked.html (all on one line)

I use ssmtp to get mail off of my machine, and this still works fine 
from within mutt. /var/log/mail.* and /var/log/messages files do not 
provide any clues.

The last system updates were:
      Tue Apr 25 07:20:24 2006 >>> sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.13-r2
      Tue Apr 25 08:38:20 2006 >>> sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r3
      Tue Apr 25 08:38:53 2006 >>> app-misc/pax-utils-0.1.11-r1
      Tue Apr 25 08:39:32 2006 >>> sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre18-r1
      Tue Apr 25 08:40:18 2006 >>> media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.11
      Tue Apr 25 08:43:24 2006 >>> media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.11
      Tue Apr 25 08:44:24 2006 >>> media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.11
      Tue Apr 25 08:44:53 2006 >>> app-portage/portage-utils-0.1.15
      Tue Apr 25 08:45:51 2006 >>> app-editors/nano-1.3.10-r1
      Tue Apr 25 08:48:15 2006 >>> sys-fs/xfsprogs-2.7.11
      Tue Apr 25 08:48:44 2006 >>> sys-apps/memtest86+-1.65
      Tue Apr 25 11:19:29 2006 >>> net-misc/tightvnc-1.2.9-r1
However, the overnight script ran just fine after these updates 
Wednesday AM.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?

Thanks,
festus
