a few minutes ago, I realized that, on a Fedora 25 box I have...

crond: No configuration file found at /home/marco/.esmtprc or
/etc/esmtprc
but the only line in my own crontab is a shell script that runs every
minute. When I run that script manually, from the command line, it
yelds no error or warning. From what I can see, this flood of crond
warnings started about a week ago, but I've used
that computer almost nothing in the last two weeks.
I should install a local MDA on this box, I guess, but before that I
should really figure out what is making crond try 20 times a second to
send an email, and make it
stop. Any ideas?
1: 20 lines a second should be visible. Is cron (or something else) visibile in
top?
2: What uses estmp?
