I also ran into this problem. I found the reason when I started mdadm without '--daemonize': It tries to use '/usr/lib/sendmail' whereas most recent distributions have sendmail (or it's replacement) in /usr/sbin. So just create a link from /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/lib/sendmail and it should work.
I was wondering myself how mdadm sent e-mail...sounds like there might be a need for a new "MAILPROG" entry in mdadm.conf...
There is a compile-time option which I have just made more explicit in
the Makefile. If you add:
-DSendmail=\""/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"\"
to the CFLAGS line in the makefile you will change how mail is sent by
default.
If you want runtime configuration, I would rather just leave the PROGRAM entry and you and write a script to do whatever you like.
I'm thinking of causing the "NewArray" alert to - be generate for all arrays at start time
- contain an indication of whether the array is degraded
- cause email to be sent if the array is degraded.
Thus you will get an alert of a failed drive when the mdadm --monitor is started.
the above are generated every every time when --monitor started? that would be nice!
