Package: smartmontools Version: 5.38-3 Severity: normal smartmontools does not send mail to root even if it believes it does so.
I have two boxes, with the same version of smartmontools and the same configure file (but different disk arrangements). In one everything works as expected, while in the other no mail is sent. Here is the relevant config line: DEVICESCAN -a -n standby -s (S/../.././00|L/../../6/07) -m root -M test -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner In the non-working machine, the daemon log says that smartmontoools sucefully sent the test mails, but in fact nothing was sent. If I try to send mail to root from the command line, both with mailx and sendmail, I get the mail, and the operation is logged at /var/log/exim4/mainlog. However, nothing is logged after smartd is restarted or reloaded. How can I diagnose this? Apparently smartd does something wrong when sending mail to root, but I don't know why, since it works on the other machine with the same configuration. -- Package-specific info: Ouput of /usr/share/bug/smartmontools: # CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages smartmontools depends on: ii debianutils 3.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-5 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.0-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages smartmontools recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20081101cvs-2 A simple mail user agent ii mailx 1:20081101-2 Transitional package for mailx ren smartmontools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
