Topic: /etc/startmail Cron Daemon: #**********************.********

[judgej]

I am getting frequent (about 20-30 each day) e-mails from my SME6.0.1 server Cron Daemoon, with some strange characters in.

The subject of the e-mails is "Cron <root@sme2> /etc/startmail" and the content is just a single line, like this:

#**********************.********

Each e-mail has a differing number of stars and dots, but they all start with '#'.

Any idea what could be generating this? I have a few contributions installed, including the (French?) multi-pop mail contibution, but nothing that is not running on other SME servers without this e-mail problem.

I don't know how i solved the problem but the mail's are gone.

I updated my clam av from Pagefault.org with:
yum -c ./yum-e-smith-antivirus.conf update

reinstalled spamfilter
reinstalled e-mail-blocking

I hope it helps for you to.

Kind Regards,
BrownFOX

Ah - so you had those same e-mails? I searched the forums, but I couldn't find any reference to them, so was beginning to think it was just me.

I'll try as you suggest and see if it fixes the problem.

Thanks,

It appres to me that your fetchmail command, see the /etc/fetchmail file, is set ot 'verbose'..

Thankyou - that was the clue I needed.

The templates led me to a 'debug' option in the "Mails Retrieval" contribution by Vincent FILALI and Pascal SCHIRRMANN. Turning that off has removed the '--verbose' flag from the fetchmail config.
