Hi Alex,
Can you verify the followings? I have this running on Ubuntu 10.x server.
1. install postfix (if already not done it)
apt-get install postfix
2. Edit Postfix configuration to reflect your setting, check sys admins for email setting.
#
...
vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
! if you
relayhost = your-email-server-address
...
#
3. Edit Rancid configuration.
vi /home/rancid/etc/rancid.conf
#
...
LIST_OF_GROUPS="ADMINS"
...
#
4. Edit aliases configuration, step # 3, LIST_OF_GROUPS=ADMINS" (this an example) must match the aliases configuration.
vi /etc/aliases
# Added by installer for initial user
rancid-ADMINS: myad...@mydomain.com

Any changes on email server or aliases?
Are you using relayhost, check vi /etc/postfix/main.cf and make sure admins are not blocking smtp-relay.

Have you tried to watch log mail logs?
Delete /home/rancid/logs/
Tail /var/logs/mail
Open another terminal window and ssh/telnet into your rancid box
Ø Add a new device or make a change to device then run rancid manual
Ø Rancid will trigger an email alert
Ø Watch mail logs
Ø Watch /home/rancid/logs/the-recentlog

HY,
Marito ...
I tried several times to change the aliases file, but it then seems not to update the "little db" that postfix uses (it continued sending the email to the previous configured account).
So I gave up trying to make it work, and ended changing the script that make the thing (control_rancid).
I searched for :
# the receipient(s) of diffs
mailrcpt=${mailrcpt:-"@MAILPLUS@${GROUP}${MAILDOMAIN}"}; export mailrcpt
adminmailrcpt=${mailrcpt:-"@ADMINMAILPLUS@${GROUP}${MAILDOMAIN}"};
Then replaced @MAILPLUS@${GROUP}${MAILDOMAIN} with my desired email account, and I got it working.
Hope this help you.
Regards.-
Mario
