Hello everyone -
I have a minor problem with yum-cron. It has been doing this for a long time,
and finally today I got annoyed enough to want to fix it.
The problem: When yum-cron sends an email notification, the message is sent
without a date field. Therefore it shows up in my inbox as "date: Unknown"
and sorts to the opposite end of the list.
The system is CentOS 7.4.1708 with all patches. Yum-cron is version
3.4.3-154.
The email headers look like this:
Return-Path: <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
X-Original-To: bgee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Delivered-To: bgee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Received: from boinc01.billgee.local (unknown [192.168.17.131]) by
campercaver.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 94EA62C0C70 for
<bgee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 18 Jan 2018 03:44:26 -0600 (CST)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Subject: Yum: Updates installed on boinc01.billgee.local
From: root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: bgee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
X-Spambayes-Classification: ham; 0.00
As you can see, there is no "Date:" field.
I don't see anything in /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf that might affect this. I also
see nothing in /etc/mail.rc,l though in this case it might not be using that
file.
The system does not have an smtp server on it. Yum-cron.conf specifies
another server for smtp. It obviously works since I receive emails from it.
Is this a bug in yum-cron? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks!
