Hello, Hope I'm doing this right - first time I'm using a mailing list but I'm getting desperate! Searched for days on forums and searched the mailing list to no avail. I've setup smartmontools and I'm testing notifications. I've setup an alias in /etc/aliases for root to lo...@my.... When I restart the daemon after placing -M test on the devicescan line in smartd.conf I see the following in syslog: Dec 4 15:24:09 myhost smartd[28172]: /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail: Dec 4 15:24:09 myhost smartd[28172]: /usr/lib/sendmail: No such file or directory Dec 4 15:24:09 myhost smartd[28172]: . . . message not sent. A possible solution could obviously be to install sendmail, but I don't think I want that. 'mail -s "subject" us...@my...' from the terminal works beautifully through my postfix server without sendmail. The 10mail script in /etc/smartmontools/run.d contains no reference to /usr/bin/sendmail, but simply /usr/bin/mail which is a symbolic link to heirloom-mailx. I simply want 10mail script to do what it says it does and use /usr/bin/mail. This is on Debian Wheezy 7.2 64-bit. Can someone please help me with this? Is it possible without sendmail at all? Thanks in advance! |

Both are part of the postfix package: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/postfix/filelist AFAIK this sendmail emulates the original sendmail command line if postfix is installed. Possible package conflict which results in the removal of /usr/lib/sendmail ? > The 10mail script in /etc/smartmontools/run.d contains no reference to > /usr/bin/sendmail, but simply /usr/bin/mail which is a symbolic link to > heirloom-mailx. Note that the run.d/10mail script is Debian specific. You might want to report a bug to http://bugs.debian.org/smartmontools Thanks, Christian |
