Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Closing as "NOT A BUG" |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922 Description of problem: In the past, one could use /bin/mail w/o a locally running sendmail daemon. With the existence of /etc/mail/submit.cf, sendmail is *required* to be running in order for mail to be sent when using /bin/mail. Since it is wise to stop, and in some organizations required to stop, any unused services (esp. sendmail) this seriously affects anyone who wishes to use /bin/mail in little things like cron jobs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.service sendmail stop 2./bin/mail your.email -s test < /dev/null Actual Results: No mail is sent. mail is stored in /var/spool/clientmqueues. sendmail -q doesn't send mail since it only scans /var/spool/mqueue Expected Results: mail to be sent Additional info: Either remove submit.cf or fix it, somehow. This also exists in RHELv3, and I'm betting FC3.
