sendmail keeps sending mails towards Mailserver (cron)

[Roodveldt]

Hi,

Is there any way I can easily block outgoing
e-mail (sendmail) messages from my Tru64 Unix 51A Cluster? ( cronjob mail )
Currently every minute about 6-10 e-mails are forwarded towards our mailserver, making performance misserable.

Greetings Roodveldt

Hi,

You can use the accessdb file to block the mails.

Regards,
Sunil.

Usually cron only sends a mail when there was a problem executing one of the statements in the scripts it was told to execute.
So solving THAT problem would be more effective. (maybe it's just complaining about "ttygetattr not a typewriter ?")

Hi,

if you are not interested in that mails, dump the output of the cron jobs to /dev/null
How do you do the mail forwarding?

greetings,

Michael

6-8 mails per minute will slowdown mailserver? Is it a PC or why is your mailserver busy processing this tons of email ;-)
