[I posted a similar question a couple of months back, but mistakenly
thought I had resolved the issue]
One of my F40 systems fails to deliver local, system-generated e-mails
(logfiles and such) UNTIL it gets rebooted.
sendmail-8.18.1-1.fc40.x86_64 is installed for local e-mail handling.
On reboot, SOME of the accumulated messages--along with failure warning
messages that have been generated--get delivered to local mailbox
(/var/spool/mail/username). Other messages remain in the queue.
Today, I noted at the end of a dnf update, the following:
Reload daemon failed: Transport endpoint is not connected
Failed to start jobs: Transport endpoint is not connected
No indication of which daemon being referred to, so it's not clear if
this is referring to the sendmail daemon.
Journalctl reports (after rebooting):
Jul 03 09:45:04 kestrel (sendmail)[1524]: sendmail.service: Referenced
but unset
environment variable evaluates to an empty string: SENDMAIL_OPTARG
Jul 03 09:45:04 kestrel sendmail[1525]: starting daemon (8.18.1):
SMTP+queueing@
01:00:00
Jul 03 09:45:04 kestrel systemd[1]: sendmail.service: Can't open PID
file /run/sendmail.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory
And then, a batch of these, corresponding to the undelivered e-mails:
Jul 03 09:45:07 kestrel sendmail[1526]: 45T7V2ou003307:
to=<root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, delay=4+06:14:04, xdelay=00:00:00,
mailer=esmtp, pri=9500566, relay=kestrel.mynetworksettings.com.,
dsn=4.4.1, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by
kestrel.mynetworksettings.com.
Even so, SOME the queued messages were in fact delivered after the
reboot completed. Others remain in the queue, for example:
# mailq
/var/spool/mqueue (9 requests)
-----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time-----
------------Sender/Recipient-----------
4627Lrpw008404 3884 Tue Jul 2 03:21 <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(Deferred: Connection refused by
kestrel.mynetworksettings.co)
<tkevans@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I do not know where the bogus domain name "mynetworksettings.com" comes
from, as the system has a proper hostname.
My other F40 systems do not have this issue, as local e-mail is
delivered properly.
Suggestions for further digging? Thanks.
