Cron setup of file "/etc/cron.d/dma" by attachment 246214 [details] works for me. > # freebsd-version -rku > 14.0-RELEASE > 14.0-RELEASE > 14.0-RELEASE-p1 My DMA spool in "/var/spool/dma" filled as I was troubleshooting mailer.conf(5) setup with line "sendmail /usr/libexec/dma -bq". ( Actual, and unrelated, initial problem was broken local file "/usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf" that caused calls to non existing sendmail by mailwrapper(8) via user crontab entry: "mailed 295 bytes of output but got status 0x0047" (/var/log/cron) 0x47 == 71 == sysexit.sh/EX_OSERR ) Thank you. |
Created attachment 246214 [details] git log -p to add a cron.d entry Mail agent libexec/dma is the new default MTA in FreeBSD 14. It lacks a mechanism to flush the queue now and then which can lead to stuck mail. The patch adds a cron entry in /etc/cron.d similar to "usr.bin/at" or the port mail/dma.
