Re: jails, cron and sendmail

Except some of the things run from cron want to send mail all on their

Why are you running cron inside the jails at all? Are you letting your
users run it? If not, can you disable it, and instead run scripts from
your real crontab that do the appropriate thigns in each jail?

It's not me, it's the OS running cron to do its periodic checks, per default. But Daniel Gerzo already pointed out, how to solve that.

Still: FreeBSD's /etc/ assumes and provides a working mail subsystem in its default configuration. That exposes sendmail to the publicly visible IP address. Shutting the mail sub system off causes trouble.

I hope, that describes my motivation to bring up the topic.
