I've had this problem for awhile (actually since I got this computer |
| 2 |
back in October), but I haven't done anything about it until now. It |
| 3 |
has to do with my ssmtp configuration. On my HP (the computer before |
| 4 |
this one) ssmtp worked correctly out of the box, so I figured it would |
| 5 |
be the same with this one, but it wasn't. My cron jobs on my client PC |
| 6 |
(camille) send out cron reports, and while I know I could just redirect |
| 7 |
them into /dev/null, I'd like to be able to look over them. They are |
| 8 |
supposed to send the reports via ssmtp to my server box (bullet), but |
| 9 |
instead I get error emails from bullet: |

I'm not even sure where exactly the problem is (on bullet or on |
| 122 |
camille), but these error messages every day are really annoying... |
