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.


At this point, it sounds like cron is in a loop which probably started when your script had some output due to some temporary condition, and the delivery attempt failed with output that cron tried to send to you, etc, etc. You might be able to break the loop just by restarting the cron service, but that'll only cover up the problem until your script prints something again.

You might be able to simply remove the esmtp package from your system if you don't want to configure it. I don't know what cronie does if /usr/sbin/sendmail doesn't exist, but it doesn't seem to list an MTA or MDA as an rpm requirement...
