logwatch -- sSMTP -- gmail...

[Scott Vargovich]

I have logwatch set up on my Mint 11 desktop box to send an email through sSMTP to my gmail account.  The message is received with this text as an error:

<gmail>

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

te...@gmail.com

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error.

I'm able to click on the message and see the results, but I'd like to fix this so it doesn't have this error.  I've searched through both my logwatch and sSMTP config files and 'te...@gmail.com' doesn't show up in either one.  Where else could it be picking up 'te...@gmail.com'???

Time consuming, but try a recursive grep for te...@gmail.com on your entire / partition.

That was on my list of things to try, but I was hoping wasn't necessary.

I found numerous occurrences of it in /var/lib/python-support/python2.7/gdata/test_data.py.  This is on Ubuntu 11.04.  I changed all occurrences of it to my email addy.

Hope that fixes it, let us know!

Jeremiah,

*D'OH!!!*  I just realized that the email logwatch is sending out is being sent to te...@gmail.com.  I looked for that address in both the config files of logwatch and ssmtp.  It doesn't appear in either one.  It also does not appear in /etc/ssmtp/revaliases  I'm again doing 'rgrep te...@gmail.conf /', but I'm wondering if this might narrow the scope of my question down a bit.

Thanks,

Scott

If it's sendmail, you might need to rebuild the alias database after changing the file:

In other news - I feel so incredibly powerful!!!  I just wielded the Bess Ban Hammer once again!!!

Back to our subject now...  There is currently no /etc/aliases file.  I'm not sure if I should try the newaliases command or not.  HELP!!!

[Jeremiah Bess]

I've never used logwatch, so I can't be of much help, sorry.

You should check it out.  It's perfect for a machine you keep on all the time.  It scours /var/log and emails you a daily report.

I had script sending me reports on some stuff (service status, hard drive capacity, etc). But once I moved to Comcast, I had issues emailing myself at Gmail. I looked into it, and can't remember if it was Comcast's fault or Gmail not liking Comcast. Either way, I had to disable the email script.

Granted I've never had Comcast, but give it a cursory look.  Here's a page describing how to set everything you need up - including a simple smtp outbound server:

That just proves one thing - Penguin Geeks aren't perfect!!!  :P
