I have been having some issues with blank emails that I have managed to track down to a cron that is run on one of my sites, however, their is also one email message that does not seem to match any of my cron entries. If I look at the message log I can see the following repeated everyday:
04:08:34 www logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
If I run the following command:
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
error: m:1 unknown option 'logrotate' -- ignoring line
error: m:1 unexpected text
error: stat of /var/log/maillog failed: No such file or directory
In /etc/logrotate.d I have the following files:
clamav.rpmsave drwebd drweb-update httpd m named rpm sa-update sw-sso syslog yum
looking at m is has the following:
logrotate state -- version 2
I notice that there does not seem to be any maillog file in /var/log so I have created a file with owner and group as root.
After doing this I have run /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf again and I just get
error: m:1 unknown option 'logrotate' -- ignoring line
error: m:1 unexpected text
while the maillog file seems to be rotated I can not see any entries in it. (I think this is here /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog)
Not surte if this is going to fix the blank email x3 that I receive at 4.08 but will let you know. In the meantime, does any one else have any insight or knows if this is the issue that is causing the blank spam at this time or does anyone else have any ideas what is?
