DetailsDescription: ssmtp places sendmail in /usr/bin when it should really place it in /usr/sbin. Packages such as dcron and mailx expect sendmail to be located in /usr/sbin and it's not really an end-user executable. You need to symlink /usr/bin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail to satisfy these packages.
Additional info: ssmtp-2.61-4 Evidence for moving /usr/bin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail: [neil@aurora ~]$ strings /usr/sbin/crond |grep sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail [neil@aurora ~]$ strings /usr/bin/mail |grep sendmail [- sendmail-options ...] sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail Steps to reproduce: If you attempt to send a mail using mail (from package mailx) it tries to use /usr/sbin/sendmail. |
