My very new system (not even a personalized kernel, yet) puts up
error messages every so often while no users are logged in. It says
something like:
<date> <hostname> sendmail[<process number?>]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): My
hostname (<hostname>) does not seem to exist!: No such file or directory
Any ideas? Only the things in <>s are variables. The rest is a
quote. Could it be cron trying to send out messages to user root?
While I'm on the subject, how do I set it up to be able to use mail
programs? I'm assuming that all a NetBSD installation gives is "mail"
itself. If I set up various directories, is it also set up for pine and
elm?
Thanks!
