Re: smail configuration has been lost after disk full runq errors
Alan,
I should have answered this too.
Mail is sent by the runq command, which in turn is run from
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/mail. This should have a command like
3,23,43 * * * * runq
To fix this, su to mail and run
crontab -e
If this is not the trouble we need expert help.
