RulesduJour question

Unread post by Galactic Zero »

Rules du Jour sends out an e-mail when it updates automatically, I've got it configured in /etc/rulesdujour to send the e-mail notifcations to admin@mydomain.com and it does that, it also sends an email to root@servername.com

I was wondering if there is a way to fix it so I don't get a bounce message for every update message.

PSA 7.5.4, RHE3

Bounce e-mail follows.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at gz.galacticzero.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

root @ gz.galacticzero.net:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)

You'll have to modify the script or talk to the RDJ folks about modifying it. Or just create a root account, and forward it.

I'd go with forwarding the server's root email, that way you are sure to get other messages for root as well.

Or you can edit the main 'rules_du_jour' script, look for the following line:

Code: Select all

[ "${MAIL_ADDRESS}" ] || MAIL_ADDRESS="root";       # Where do Email notifications go
